you got some other little bitty galaxies too! That's wonderful, Tyler. -- Joe --- On Thu, 4/9/09, Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net> wrote: From: Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] M108 and M97 - Together Again To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 6:31 PM Hello again SLAS.  This posting is a follow-up to my recent image of the Owl Nebula.  I had some LRGB data of M108 and M97 that I collected several weeks ago, but hadn't processed yet.  That data was collected using the Finger Lakes CM-10 camera, with smaller pixels.  I decided to add my recent hydrogen alpha and O3 data to the older data to make a new image.  I like the way it turned out.  The CM-10 uses the KAF3200XME chip (the same as an ST10 from SBIG), which does not have anti-blooming gates.  The brighter stars in this image bloomed almost off the chip, and had to be repaired.  I am not very skilled at that, so those stars look a little weird.  But, on the up side, that chip is very sensitive and the image shows many small galaxies and such.  Here is a link to my website.  http://www.allred-astro.com/gpage8.html Click on the images a few times to see the full resolution versions.  This one is fun to look around to find all the little goodies besides the main targets.  Enjoy!
