Open Question

Post by MapleRidge »

Hello everyone...

I have been a member here since early in the new year, and I have found all the member to be very supportive be it in answering questions or feedback on images. I am tossing this question out to everyone...considering the images I have been sharing, are there any suggestions anyone has for improvement?

Personally, I try not to over do the processing, and I need to get the newton ring banding atrifacts under control too. I also want to improve the resolution in the barlowed close-up...a bit grainey at present. All of this limited to seeing conditions of the day ;)

My hope is to be able to do more white light and CaK work, but I will need clear Sundays to get far here. Up to the end of June, work will really press my time and might grab a 1/2 hr or so do imaging aroound the noon hour. I hope to work on bits of this one step at a time. I am also hoping to work on a modded scope and another project for WL/CaK is rattling around in the back of my mind too. One day, when I have time I can get to work on them.

Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated...I haved a number of local contacts on deep sky issues, but my solar contacts are pretty much via internet, and you folks are the best!
