Title: Two New Ones w/ the 11000C
Post by: Warhen on January 24, 2012, 02:07:04 pm

Hi list friends,
                      Glad all is well! Wanted to share a couple new ones with you.

Both taken with the Atik 11000C. Enjoy!

Best, Warren

Nice images, but I wonder, if you used the same equipment for both images, why the Eage image has more diffraction spikes around stars then the M33 image?

I like the Eagle more than M33, do not know why :-) maybe because I like nebulas and dislike galaxies :D

The Eagle seems to be more color-noise reduced or in overall more NR applied? In the end it looks cool to me. The M33's dim parts looks a bit grainy and maybe the stars look just a hair more greenish than blueish, but do not take my words seriously as I am perfectionist...

Warren,

I like both of your images.  Great focus and tracking.  I think I lean slightly towards M33.  Konihlav "graininess" I envision as the profusion of stars in the galaxy...

Thanks guys. Dislike galaxies Pavel? Oh my! I respectfully submit there is no 'green bias' in M33's stars. They are nice blue/gold and much attn is paid to color balance using PI and PS tools. Are you calibrated? I also recommend Firefox as IE's color managemnt is poor. The stars on M16 are bizarro- our only guess was a spider web or some other temporary extra diffraction spike which 'blessed' us over those nights. Thanks guys.

Hi,

The 11000C is a work horse that is in perfect harmony with your RC!

Really nice!

Hi all, newbie to the Forum, just acquired an 11000/EFW2, looking forward to first light with the A-dons/C14/ONAS etc., and sharing efforts/thoughts here. Warren, I like the structure and detail of these two shots. It would be great if you could arrange your Gallery images by camera used.  That would make C vs Mono comparisons super quick.   ;-)

Best,

SteveNj
