ASTRO: M82
Thanks but I only tried to get the galaxy color right and the stars were
ignored when working on the color. I am getting the knack of it a bit better. Have a few tweaks yet but have another galaxy that's also part of the M81 group but not featured here for some time, that I've seen anyway, that also has good color balance. These are much higher in the sky than the ones I was having trouble with, almost overhead. I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it. I'll post it in the next day or two when I get time to work on it again. Each time I do it, it comes out a bit better, why I don't know as I think I'm doing it the same.

That's a really fine image! George Normandin I'd say I didn't lose any sleep over it but with the roof open I don't sleep very well. Once, even up and working in the control room I took a 30 minute frame that seemed very faint. This was before the Robo-focus so I went to refocus but no object. Nothing will get anything to appear. I run out to see what's wrong and it is pouring! I was working low so the dew shield kept the optics dry but the camera was very wet inside. Dried it out and it worked again. That was the ST-7 that got soaked. Anyway, since that night sleeping isn't easy with the roof open. Especially when it is pointed nearly straight up as it was for this shot. I do have to get a cloud sensor. Then I'll worry it isn't working and still not sleep well. Right now it is snowing lightly with temp about -23C. Winter finally arrived.

High in the sky I can seem to get the colors much better than when low.
I have a couple more from the M81 group in process, one about done. I'll be posting one or both in the next few days. Rick Stefan Lilge wrote: Rick, that's a beautiful M82.
