Some interim work...

[neilfleming]

The clouds are driving me crazy, so I put together an interim version of what I had so far on IC1805 and IC443:

IC1805 has so far:
Ha - 23x30 = 11.5 hours
SII - 17x30 = 8.5 hours
OIII - 7x30 = 3.5 hours

The SII channel needs some more time, and the OIII is barely started.


IC443 is just being tickled, at 2.5 hours of Ha the other night:

I'm also not 100% sure on the framing, yet. I may want just a little more of the jellyfish portion.

Hello Neil.. The links below are not working. May I suggest that you create your own gallery here and upload any images you want to it. This way everyone can see some of the excellent quality images that you have done!!

Interesting, Brian. Looks to be a bug in the forum system. Notice that the links that it tries to open up are:

http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b>:ol(&#...star2.jpg');
http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b>:ol(&#...43,Ha.jpg');

...respectively. It is adding some javascript to the url. The items are actually properly there.

I just fixed the links in your original post Neil. It seems that for some reason the javascript was pasted along with the file location on your site. At any rate I edited out the errors and you can now click on the images directly.

It would be great though if when you have some time to create your own gallery on the site. I know there are a lot of people that would love to see your work!!

Neil, great work.....I especially like the Jellyfish area....and I like the framing of it. I haven't seen that much nebula before....I've caught some of it, but not to this extent. At last years AIC, Steve Mandel did a presentation on what he called the Undiscovered Nebula Project. It was/is an effort to document more of the night sky....here is a link to what he is doing: http://www.galaxyimages.com/UNP1.html With the sensitivity and results you are getting, it might be something for you to consider working with. the images are coming along wonderfully.

Awesome shots Neil!! Phenomenal detail and spot on tracking/focusing... Excellent!!

Thanks, Brian. Here is an update of IC443, with 6 hours of Ha now:

I was a mere two weeks late in reporting the new nebula in THIS shot! Notice that there is a small, bright, blob an inch below the bright star near the top edge of the photo, about 1/3rd over from the left edge.

BTW, this has NO bloom removal done in Photoshop for the incredibly large blooms from the bright stars on the 6303 chip.

I instead included both short and long-duration subs in the stack as I processed them all in CCDStack.
