Several years ago I renewed my interest in astronomy by purchasing a Meade LX90 telescope. I enjoy imaging deep sky objects and maintaining an ongoing journal about them and my processing methods. I hope my enthusiam for my hobby comes through to viewers of this blogsite.

NGC7380 With Star Colors
©2008 Richard Murray
Full Size Image
Notes: This is a reprocessed image from 7/5/08 with star color added from RsGB images taken on 7/9/08. For the nebula the Ha and OIII images were mapped to the RGB channels as Ha for red, OIII as green and OIII as blue.
To me it's quite an improvement in the image. Look at the old image below.

This image is very good.
I've always look forward to seeing the pictures you post!
Like your blog so I've added your link to my blog!
Cheers!
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback.
Like you, I'm a toy collector. Only instead of Star Wars collectables I like to accumulate tin toy robots. :>))

Oh wow...I do like Tin toy robots too! Cheers Cheers!
I've only have a few remakes(no vintage) and started collecting a couple of months ago. Here the link to my robot collection :
