I took this image back in July. Since I have gotten better with using Deep-Sky stacker and photoshop I decided to try and reprocess the image 64 frames x 8.5s of lights and darks. Agc = low Ssdr = max Ssnr = max 10" goto dob reduced to f3.2 using FR

I was surprised that I was able to pick up the faint area surrounding NGC 5195. That samsung camera surprises me with what it can do.

Well done Tim! That's a beautiful galaxy (pair of galaxies). Lots of spiral arm dust and detail there

Thanks for the comments.
I can't wait until the weather improves here, so I can go back to the dark site and do some more imaging.

Here's some more images that I have reprocessed.
C 11- color might be off, but I just wanted to pull out all the nebulosity. very noisy
Zeta Tauri - I really liked the color of this star
M 13 - this took a long time to do. I had to learn how to make star mask 800 light frames

Here's Mirach and Mirach's Ghost. Stacked and color corrected.
I was just using Mirach to focus and I noticed the faint smudge near by.

That's pretty cool Ken. How did you do that? MAGIC! Nah, I made 3 copies of it an altered the colour, brightness and spikes in each frame of Mirach, and changed focus and colour of background stars in each one. Then put them together in Paintshop Pro Animation Shop. and Hey Presto

I was just using Mirach to focus and I noticed the faint smudge near by. I keep coming back to look at this image. The star is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you cloudyne! I have found with the scb 2000 that if I turn off agc I can color out of the stars, but at the same time with the agc off i get to much noise in the image. I normally capture with agc on low.
