Hi Tyler -- We're going home tomorrow!!!! NYC was interesting but it depressed me terribly when we first arrived. I'm a desert boy and deserts are in short supply around here. -- Joe ------------------------------ On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 11:12 AM MDT Tyler Allred wrote:

Hey Joe. I remember that the data was pretty good and the image turned out pretty nice as well. I hope you get some imaging time in soon. How long will you be away from home? Cheers, Tyler

NGC6946 is one of my favorites too. Remember when you helped me by processing my data of it, Tyler? The exposures were inadequate but you helped make them look good, and I was thrilled. Thanks again, Joe

Thanks to Bernard, Mat, Brent, and Joe, for taking time to comment on my image.  I put a lot of time and effort into these images, and it is nice to know that someone is taking time to look at them.  It really makes a difference for me. Cheers, Tyler

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
