Re: [APML] M45 uploaded & multiple M33s for your opinion

Very nice Alan!! The M45 shot looks good, better than anything I've been able to get. And for the M33 shots, I think #4-Jerry's jpg looks the best. I say this because the nebulosity within the galaxy is more visible. The others are good but #4 gets my vote. Keep it up!

Subject: [APML] M45 uploaded & multiple M33s for your opinion

Hey all,

I will not have time to upload any shot info to the site until at least
tonight, or tomorrow. M45 is a combine of a 70 mintue and a 125 minute
shot on supra 400 through the FS-102 at the f/8 prime focus. This is
the best I've ever been able to get of M45 as it's been one of those
'holy grail' (for me) targets that begs for a great shot and
presentation. I ended up taking almost all the red out of it somehow
and will probably work with it some more. I am interested in your
comments on my processing, or lack thereof. 8-)

On the same page, I have uploaded 4 shots of M33. I used various
processing techniques suggested by Jerry Lodriguss and Scott Ireland to
come up with these and would appreciate knowing your thoughts on them.
I'd like to thank them for sharing their knowledge with me and all of
us. I really need to read more of PS for Astrophotographers but can
never seem to get around to it. If you could let me know which of them
is more visually pleasing, I'd appreciate it. I have a favorite, but
I'll keep it to myself. Actually, I'd have to look at them again to
remember which it is. 3 look alike to me with one being different.

I will have more shots as time goes by as we had nice weather a couple
weeks ago. Humidity was high leading to bright skies though, still, it
was clear, so bear with me. Here's the link:
