Exactly. It’s that busy part that gets me. Dave On Jun 13, 2013, at 9:55 PM, Tyler Allred <tyler@allred-astro.com> wrote:
Dave, I might be willing to teach an image processing class someday, if there is enough interest. My suspicion is that most folks are just too busy. Thanks for commenting. Cheers, Tyler

Very nice. I'd like to take a class from you on imaging technique. However, it will never happen. Keep up the good work and keep posting.

Hi all.
While working out the bugs in my home-built astrograph, I have been making the most of galaxy season... targeting the closer and larger galaxies, many of which I had imaged previously at shorter focal lengths. But this one is a new target for me. I spent four nights on this target, however one night had terrible seeing... so bad that I decided not to use the data at all. The night I collected the color data wasn't a great night either, but good enough. The luminance data was a different story. I finally have the collimation of my scope nearly perfect, and I got two great nights with stable skies, which is unusual here in Utah. We always seem to have the jetstream right over our heads and the seeing is frequently quite bad. At any rate, I combined the decent color data with really good luminance for this image. The full version is worth a look... I promise. :)
I think I might have a new personal favorite image in my collection. I am really happy with the way the scope is now performing.
Here is a link to the image on my website:

As always, please click the image a couple of times to get to the full version. Your comments and feedback are always welcomed.
Thanks and Clear Skies to All,
Tyler
