Re: A whale and a ring
Wow! Great to see that the new equipment is up and running and the results look awesome. I'll bet you're really looking forward to getting under dark skies!

Andy, I'm a new member but just had to say those are two awesome images. The ring nebulae is also one of my favorite visual objects to observe. Thanks for sharing.

Re: A whale and a ring
Whale? Looks like the entire ocean! Totally amazing color. Now I see what you mean about long exposure times!!

Re: A whale and a ring
Just spectacular, Andy. New equipment? Or are you imaging remotely (from the dark side of the moon)?

Re: A whale and a ring
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
These LRGB images are really tough to process due to the light pollution (narrowband is much easier), and I am really looking forward to seeing how the equipment works in dark skies.
It is new equipment that I put together for my remote observatory project. Right now I am still imaging from my backyard with the new gear making sure it is working reliably enough for remote operation. I won't have it installed in NM until probably October.AstroGeek wrote:New equipment? Or are you imaging remotely (from the dark side of the moon)?
