The last few nights have been cloudy, so the 'scopes have been all dressed up with no place to go. That gives me a chance to do a little catching up with some image processing though.
This evening we had our monthly gathering of the Astrophotography SIG (Special Interest Group) at the China Rose restaurant. We had a good turnout but unfortunately the projector that we normally use for the show-and-tell wasn't available, so we did it using a laptop, which isn't the easiest thing for everyone to see. Nevertheless fun was had by all.
In preparing my images to share I realized that I have obtained a lot of data over the past couple of months that has not been processed yet. So I have a bit of catching up to do. I'll probably be able to do a little bit this weekend, during the long drive to and from the Advanced Imaging Conference - but that's another blog.
Here's a narrowband image of The Flaming Star Nebula, IC 405, that I took back on October 17th. I used the "Hubble Pallet" which assigns Hydrogen-alpha as the green channel, which is why this image looks so green. Click Here for a larger version of this image.
