That is very nice! Great color, detail, stars and background! In my area (MA) this only gets to 25deg. How high does it rise in AZ?

Very nice capture! You got some great detail in the galaxies.

Thanks Jim. Capturing a lot of data helped to bring out more detail. The 533 has very low noise and no amp glow. The similar camera, 183, has the amp glow and needs darks.

Thank you!

Thank you Jim!

Thank you!

Here's this years M51 from my backyard. The processed data is combined with about 3 hours from last year. Most of the data (82%) is under an essentially a full Moon. Redcat 51, asi533mc pro (gain 101, -10C), Star Adventure GTi, Asiair plus, guided, EAF. Optolong uv/ir filter; 246x180", 128x120"...

A little late to the game posting but here are a few captures of the 2024 eclipse. I'm very happy and proud of these images. Once in a life time experience. This was the first time capturing Solar, first time for a Total Eclipse. A lot of homework, preparation and driving but it was stunning...

Thank you Dan!

Thanks Jim!

It has been a while since I contributed to the group. Here's my most recent capture of M81/82, associated smaller galaxies and IFN (integrated flux nebula). This is a combination of data from last year, this year and is the most integration time that I have ever processed, ~ 26hrs. It took about...

That’s a very image. I like your final version as I see more detail, depth and balance of contrast. Another new target to add to list!

Nice capture Jim! This is new one for me and have added it to my target list.

Thank you! It’s been a fun ride so far. The great thing is that there’s so much more to learn and explore.

Thank you!
