Re: (IAAC) Lovely M56 [CCD images]
Thanks for your kind comments.
My images are always (at least with the ST-9E) inverted (sough up), as
they are taken using a newtonian scope (2 mirror). I will make this
known on the index page. If you don't mind, I would like to include a
reference to this e-mail so that others can have access to the reports
for this object.

I put a similar message out onto the SBIG forum and got a suggestion
back that my stars looked grey, and that more contrast would help. I
took up the suggestion and tried it, on the M56 image, but the result
wasn't to my taste. I think you make a good point about under-exposing
the image. I am glad my images were to your liking.

This is my wonderful space provider telling you to try again a bit
later. I may have generated too many page references to their liking.
This image has been well received.
