ASTRO: M51 reprocessed
Friends are telling me my posts of late aren't propagating to them. Not one got my post of the Hercules Galaxy Cluster and only a couple got the triple asteroid shot. Half got one or the other of the Hind's Variable nebula shot. Only one got both versions. Yet all made it the Space Banter website that mirrors this group.
http://www.spacebanter.com/forumdisplay.php?f=25 So I signed up and am trying posting through it. Maybe this will get through to more news servers. For some reason I had a heck of a hard time getting it to upload an image for posting. I've been trying all day and now it appears to work. But I had to use my wife's XP machine. Maybe it doesn't like W2K. When I registered to post it wouldn't allow me to use my name so not sure what will appear in the name field. Probably my user name. I tried several based on my name but none were allowed either. Too common I suppose. Anyway this is the same M51 I posted last year but completely reprocessed. I never was happy with the color balance and noise in the first attempt. I now am better at color balance and digging into the noise so decided with all the clouds to give it another try. 14" LX200R @ f/10, L=6x10', RGB =2x10', STL-11000XM, Paramount ME Rick |

Looking at the equipment and what images have been mentioned being posted
previously, it is Rick Johnson. Very impressive image again Rick. The posts you mentioned all showed up on my news server, here in the UK.

So I used my prefix on the email address figuring that should do the trick. Guess not. But my main computer can't seem to upload an image to that site. It's the one that shows me the image calibrated to Photoshop to be sure I've got everything just right. The monitor Photoshop is on refuses to calibrate perfectly and can suppress green even though PS says it is right. I see now that I see it on my better monitor that I still have a bit too much green in it. Hmmm. Back to the processing computer. 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". |
