ASTRO: Sh2-115 revised
I'm due for cataract surgery soon, find out Wednesday when. Anyway I
don't see fine detail well any more. Should after they get both eyes fixed but that's a month apart. Anyway I didn't see that my H alpha darks didn't work well. I didn't have any. Apparently when I took this I expected to take them but never did. I used some 10 minute ones that were current and scaled them but that's a far bigger scale than I've ever had work. I was pleased to see it did. Except I've been told (many times now) it didn't. I blew it up so my eyes could see the damage and it was severe. I went back and found some 15 month old darks that didn't need scaling. I figured they'd not work but they did surprisingly well. So here's the full size image with a better set of darks applied to the H alpha data. Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Very good picture Rick, maybe I would have preferred a bit less contrast.
I'll have to find out where this patch of sky is... I hope all goes well in hospital. I guess it is an advantage that you are a CCD photographer and not a visual guy.

For now, it's injections and physical therapy. Getting old sux, eh? George |

Suddenly it doesn't seem so bad after all. I'm not looking forward to having the eyes worked on but the rate I'm losing vision I have to do something. I find out tomorrow when they do the first eye. Sorry about the neck. Wife's friend just woke up with a severe back pain just below the neck and found a disk had blown up during the night. She has been trying everything to avoid surgery but not working very well. My back isn't great after working with lots of downed trees again this year (several to do) but so far it's just overworked muscles the doc says. Good luck with your situation.

You may be right. I see the world in low contrast right now. Hard to
judge. After surgery I will see what I think. Right now it looked way too flat until I punched up the contrast. Might be the eyes however.
