I spent some time collimating my scope last night after which I took a few test shots of M-1 which just happened to be transiting. Knowing there are some folks here on the list getting into astroimaging I made images for a "kit" that could help folks get a feel for what's involved in making color images. The kit contains: 1-Raw exposure with clear filter 1-Raw exposure with green filter 1-Raw exposure with blue filter 1-Raw exposure with red filter 1-Master dark to be used to reduce all of the raw images 1-Master clear flat for reducing the raw clear 1-Master green flat for reducing the raw green 1-Master blue flat for reducing the raw blue 1-Master red flat for reducing the raw red The master dark was made by shooting and median combining 15 darks. The master flats were made by shooting and median combining 15 each flats shot through the clear, green, blue and red filters. I should note that using the kit will not get you "Tyler like" images. Though the final image should look pretty good the main purpose of the kit is to show folks what's involved in making "real" color images (I say "real" as opposed to the one-shot cameras which, like color film, sometimes produce questionable colors). Let me know if you'd like a kit and I'll email it out. Clear skies! patrick
