Wow mate, you are delivering some serious images. That is true planetary eye candy, and no easy feat. I don't recall ever seeing such as well resolved Olympus Mons. Makes me want to pull out a Mars map and go over all those pertinent details you have captured. P.S Glad Pat's triple bypass went well. Ray -
Some nice pillars in the core there, I would love to get my C14 onto those, but the old hemisphere issues creeps in again.:) Ray

Incredible! Ray

That must be a huge nebula in your part of the sky Prof. I didn't realize it was so large. Ray
-
Awesome Greg. Tons of hydrogen left over for star formation, "the end is NOT nigh". Ray
-
Whatever you are doing to resolve that dark neb is working beautifully my friend. Ray
-
Great advice Professor. Well noted. Ray

I can't argue with that. I'm looking at ways to bring down my noise. I also take a vast number of subs, and through my C14 at 4000mm at F11, the tolerances for focus, tracking and guiding can become difficult during dozens of 5 minute exposures ( I bin (throw away) at least half of my subs). I'm going to start using dither more during my imagining runs as well. Ray

Very noiseless and smooth Greg. May I ask how you process these to have what appears as zero grain. Ray
-
Both epic work my friend. Ray
-
Love it Greg. What processing do you perform to bring out the dark neb? Ray
-
Been a while since I posted a photo, but having some spare time has allowed me to process some data I have. This was processed mostly in PI and some minor adjustments in PS. Shot at 4000mm, Focal Ratio F11, and probably spent about 50 hours acquiring the correct subs. The total imaging time used is more like 10 hours, but this object sits over the city lights from my observatory and many subs were unusable. C/C's welcome. Ray

Lovely work Tim. She looked quite amazing through the eyepiece as well. Naked eye was just as good IMO. Something pretty special about seeing both of those objects so close in the eyepiece. Have a great Xmas my friend. Ray -
Very cool mate. We love camping. Great time to be selling with no international travel, it will sell extremely quickly. Ray
