Jim, Yes just the exact amount of thin clouds can produce a nice 'glow filter' as you show here - really accentuates the brighter stars and gives the image a cool quality. I am now officially waiting for my mono version of this camera (but from QHY) and so it is exciting to see all these...

Jim, This looks great - really like the smooth low noise results and the colors seem to be spot on for sure. Do you have a version that includes the stars? I think that would warrant an addition to this post, or perhaps even a GIF animation showing the starry version fading into the starless...

Great stuff - really impressive work! I think some of those sunspots must have helped with Amateur Radio Field Day, which I just finished participating in this weekend :) ML

No new images for me still yet, but some new gear finally is on its way: I was already wanting one of these, but after seeing the excellent results from some of our accomplished astroimagers, I ordered my own IMX571 based astro camera, this time from QHY. QHY268M 9 slot 2 inch filter wheel...

One of the best IR images I have seen, as mentioned above the processing is what really makes this special. ML

Chuck, OK that is good info to know for the future if I do get into solar. Thanks! ML

Tremendous image Ken, gotta get to Isle of Skye someday! ML

Wow Alan, that is REALLY magnificent in every way, glad to see that one posted again! ML

Very nice Alan, and inspiring to get the drone back out, although it is a few minutes drive from here to get special scenes like that :) Lovely composition and colors in this one. ML

Fun shot Jim, well seen as a potential image in your scouting, and then very nicely realized. ML

Chuck, Wowser! Those are jaw-dropping, especially that close up one, although I also enjoy the images showing the fuller view of the sun's limb and the body too. Nice to know the ASI1600 can do such a good job on solar! ML

danny, These are excellent - M101 has nice color and detail with colorful stars, and 4565 is showing subtle details in the dust lane, nicely done! ML

Danny, Great image of this iconic target. I think the post processing is excellent with very nice detail and subtle colors coming out. Great work. I hear you with galaxy post processing and star issues - always a challenge to bring out the fainter galaxy detail without adversely affecting the...

Nice pairing showing these 2 together along with the interstellar dust of the region. Great job!

Jim, Glad to see you now have that astro camera going - as you say, even though the 850 did an amazing job for an unmodified camera, the dedicated camera with cooling has the advantage for colors and noise performance. Great to start out with this area, one of the most colorful and...

Finally got out on our planned trip to 3 newly visited National Parks in California this past month. We spent 10 days visiting Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia and I am done fiddling with images from the trip. I am pretty happy with results – maybe not any singular images but a lot of ones...
