I processed this data I obtained from a 27.5" scope in Spain through Telescope Live. I joined Telescope Live because I wanted to get shots from the Southern hemisphere but also in some cases where I wasn't happy with the shot I got from my location.

I'm doing pretty good, I love it up here, no bugs, low humidity and cooler temps, nothing worse than high 90's with 100% humidity, feels like 110. I miss having an observatory. I do keep my equipment setup in my backyard, it is very private. The humidity makes the atmoshere very steady. It is...

The stars weren't twinkling that much so I thought it would be better.

It was really clear last night no smoke. I thought it would be better than it was.

This is the first shot of Saturn from the Pacific Northwest and I am really missing the steadiness of the skies in SW Florida for shooting the planets. The planets were also high in the sky which makes a difference. I was at 26° lat before now at 45° Seeing is everything when doing the planets...

Thanks, I wish someone would come up with a fine focuser like a crayford or rack and pinion for camera lens.

Thanks Jim, i'm running out of things to image from home, I'm new to this area and need to find some place to go for dark skies.

Thanks Mike, I'm at Bortle 7 but the tranparency is excellent. The problem I had in Florida is inconsistent transparency. The transparenccy was below average most of the time. I would get one good night and it would be a waste of time if I had bad transparecy the next few nights which usually...

Here is the final image. 20-360 sec subs for each filter.

We should get together sometimes. I'm always looking for someone to go birding with or do astro stuff . I'll bring my solar scope and hope there is some nice action on the sun.

Thank you! It is far but we needed to do it.

Thanks Alan, we moved to the Portland area.

Thanks Jim, I've been to Oregon almost every month except Januarary and February. I know the weather is bad in the winter but nothing is worse than SW florida in June, July, August and September. The last hurricane did it for us. I have family in Beaverton so we decided it was time to move...

It's been a while since i've been able to take a shot of anything. I've been busy moving across the country. SW Florida to Oregon was a stressful move but we made it and I started to take some shots again. I miss my observatory I had in Florida but I'm able to image from my back yard. Here is my...

Very sad news. R.I.P Ben. You always had such nice words to say about everyone here on Focal World. Miss You!

Nice shot Jim

It's always nice to capture a supernova to see how much energy these objects produce.

Thanks Dan!

Thanks Mike! I just bought the Optolong lp pro and I think it's a keeper for where I live. I'm surprised on how much I got for under an hour in my conditions. My main focus on this one was jsut to get enough of the galaxy and show the SN. I've shot this many times with different scopes and...

Hey Mike I like the second one a little better. Have you tried HOO process I think that might even work out better. I also like the rgb one.
