Default ASTRO: Returning from the crypt and three first lights

Btw I just took a look at the 11 megapixel version. This is a spectacular
combination of detail and wide field, and very little noise can be seen.
And the calf is really cute :-)


We like that calf

we had an even cuter one born last month but it was a pain because it needed
to be bottle-fed for about 10 days. Finally it figured out how to nurse its
momma and is now doing great

The one born on the weekend just worked out like they are supposed to: easy
birth, very healthy calf that was immediately able to stand and nurse. By
the end of the day it was running around with momma

The full rez image is also reasonably noise free but it would benefit from
2x the exposure time

I think a good tricolor Eline will take about 25-30 hours total: maybe 12
hours of sulfur, 8 hours of Oxygen and 6 hours of hydrogen

This coming weekend I hope to get 2-3 hours each of sulfur and oxygen to
start the 'tease' of what could be...

I wish I would have been able to get this project underway in January but
the weather wasn't cooperating.
