Tyler Allred pretty pictures
Tyler, Those are some very nice images. Could you tell us what exposures/filters were used to make those on your "Latest Images" page? Also could you indicate how much work you put in after taking the images? Very nice work. Jerry Foote ScopeCraft, Inc. 4175 E. Red Cliffs Dr. Kanab, UT 84741 435-216-5450 jfoote@scopecraft.com

When I started the website, I took the time to put all the image info onto each page, with scope and mount info, camera and filter info, exposure times, and a little explanation of the object as well. Lately, I am just too busy to take the time. I feel lucky if I get a night to do a little imaging once in a while. At any rate, here are a few details on the Leo Trio and Crescent Nebula images. Leo Trio: Takahashi Epsilon 160 at F/3.3 Losmandy G-11/Gemini mount SBIG ST2000XM camera with Astrodon filters L:R:G:B at 70:30:30:30 minutes - 10 minute subs L binned 1x1 - RGB binned 2x2 Total exposure time 2 hours 40 minutes Data acquisition and preprocessing using MaxIm DL 4 Darks/Flats/Bias frames Post-processing in Photoshop CS3 Total processing time about 2 hours (but that can go on forever on RGB images) Crescent Nebula: Takahashi Epsilon 160 at F/3.3 Losmandy G-11/Gemini mount SBIG ST2000XM camera with Schuler Ha filter 180 minutes total with 20 minute subs (9) Data acquisition and preprocessing using MaxIm DL 4 Darks/Flats/Bias frames Post-processing in Photoshop CS3 Total processing time less than 1 hour On another topic, I think Don Colton and I are making a trip to see you in late September. I am really looking forward to spending some time with you and Don. I am tempted to take Patrick up on his offer to make the trip this weekend, but I don't think I can pull that off right now. Cheers and Clear Skies, Tyler _____________________________________________
