Here's my attempt to redeem myself with M5. I shot this one 5-18-10 with the Meade 10" LX200ACF with the Meade 6.3 Focal Reducer, so at F6.3 and FL/1575. This is my first image with the Orion StarShoot Pro V.2 which I have had for 5 months. 19-30 second subs, 10 Darks. Initial Processing in Maxim DL Essentials, Post Processing in Images Plus.

The Hickson 44 galaxy group lies around 60mly distant in Leo. The group consists of four interacting galaxies. LRGB image was taken with a 14" Meade LX200ACF & SBIG 11000M camera.

NGC3628 in Leo about 35mly away. I tried to re-work some old data during this week of bad weather.

The Deer Lick group of galaxies is dominated by NGC7331 around 49 mly distant. I tried to salvage an image from some not so good data taken over a year ago.

Here's a reprisal of M104, taken with the Hyperstar on 5-6-10. It's the last image I took for the first Hyperstar session. Collimination of the Hyperstar is an issue that needs to be resolved. Also, soon I will be able to do flats (just got an EL Panel).

M51 Taken 5-5-10. This is my first hyperstar image. There is a bit of tweaking that needs to be done to get really good pictures out of the system. I hope to get this done in the next few weeks and I am aiming for the kind of quality images John produces with his system.

Markarian's chain/Virgo cluster. 56 subs @ 45 seconds each with Nexstar 11/Hyperstar/Canon 40D. Not a great photo but lots of galaxies in a single field of view. There are 25 labeled here, but at 100% resolution you can see many more - along with lots of noise and some not very round stars! A smaller (800X600 100K) "mouseover" image is available at:
