Photo Gallery
I am currently converting all images to the default resolution of the ST8 (1530 x 1020 pixels). If an image does not have an option of 1024 pixels, it should be 1280 pixel resolution

Processing notes for all images:
CCDStack is my ccd image processing program of choice (I now use MaxIm DL only for controlling/guiding the ST8/telescope)
The general CCDStack processing steps for all images are:
Calibration, bloom removal, alignment, normalization, STD Sigma reject, sum or median combine, DLP processing, 25 to 50 iterations of Positive Constraint deconvolve and save as a 16 bit scaled TIFF
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is my final processing program
Typical Photoshop steps are:
Curves, GradientXTerminator if needed, clean up (stars, blooms, defects, etc.), cropping when needed, selective enhancement with levels, curves, unsharp mask, or brightness/contrast, and save as JPEG for web
