M1 - Crab Nebula - SII, Ha, OIII - Reprocessed

This is a re-processed version of my original M1. The original looks like I may have gotten two of the color channels mixed up or at least not balanced correctly. In this version I balanced the channels before combining so as to not be influenced by the color implementation once combined.

M31 - First Light with the DSI Pro III

M31, 2 minute exposures for L, R, G, and B, no binning. This was the first image I ever took wiht the DSI Pro III and I should have taken some flat frames as well but was just too excited and forgot.

Solar Prominence - First PST Image

Solar Prominence - First PST Image

This is the first solar image I have ever taken. The image is composed of two parts, the fist being about 100 images taken at .02 seconds of the inner "surface" of the sun, and the second being about 200 images taken at about .2 seconds each of the outer Prominence. These were then combined in Photoshop for the complete picture.
