Starship Asterisk*

hi fellows,

after a long time of harsh weather conditions, saturday night made it up to me with almost perfect transparency and terrific seeing!

I had collected some data on this object before, but not enough to process a decent image.
finally I got 9 hours of total exposure time and here is the result after more than 9 hours processing...

data and all images can be found on my website:

small preview is here:


thanks for looking...and considering it...

Hi stargazer_7000! Excellent image! Makes me wish I could climb aboard my own rocket ship and head out there to see it 'up close and personal'!

Your site's nice, too.

P.S. I'm not a fellow, but wanted to reply anyway.

...thanx Indigo for the nice words on my recent image!
much appreciated.
sorry if I bothred you with "fellow"...though.


BTW:
here is a special crop - seperatly processed with a bit more detail:
