Hi Joshben, You did great on a very faint subject, Nice colors too. Clear Skies

Efrain, Beautiful job on this cluster. The dim nebula stands out nicely. I have a heck of a time with this (or other) bright objects because of the blooms on my ST-10. --Andy

I also like those two unlabelled ones to the right and slightly up from IC465. Very pretty neighbourhood.

Arp 180 Arp 180 is a pair of interacting galaxies. The second is the small blue dot near the core of the main galaxy and right on the arm. In fact, must of that arm may be a plume from this second galaxy thus explaining why this arm is so much brighter and bigger than the northern arm which barely registers in Arp's photo. I find no catalog that names them separately. They are known by several other names MCG-01-13-034 seems the most...

I guess I would fall under that category of being an Arp galaxy lover. Of course, I could say that regarding just about any galaxy, peculiar or otherwise. LOL I agree with Kyle. It would be interesting to see how those filaments would look if more exposure time was added. Excellent work, Rick! Eric

Excellent. Orion is a great subject.

In one photo I measured I got a blue intensity of 36272 and then a green intensity 15033. So, therefore a green magnitude of 6.75, a blue magnitude of 7.71 and a B-V color index of 0.96. This is way way too blue for HIP 17832. The star is tending toward being blue but not that blue just look at the SIMBAD entry. This was measured in a different image of M45. Any idea what is going on? The image below is for illustration purposes only because,...

Hi Joacofab: You need a camera that does avis in B&W and soon to process with RegisTax. The color cameras are not good company of the solar filters. Many greetings Cesar

Very nice indeed. The colors and processing look great.

Thanks mate, hopefully i'll get a chance to capture some more images this weekend. Weather permitting of course!
