    To Bill Davidson above! Yes Bill I would be honored to have you publish the pictures. Details for the Crab Nebula are as follows:
    Scope: Astro-Tech 80 mm ED refractor (AT80ED)
    Mount: Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi
    Camera: ZWO ASI183MC color astronomy camera
    Exposure: Live stack of 137, 5 second frames (11.4 minutes)
    Processing: Dark frame subtraction and color balance in Photoshop Elements

    For the Orion Nebula, the same scope, mount and camera as above was used. The exposure was a live stack of 58, 5 second frames (4.8 minutes). Processing: Dark frame subtraction and color balance in Photoshop Elements.

    Bill, do you need the original PNG files (they are 7.6 and 12.9 megabytes respectively)? These files were the ones submitted originally in the forum. Also I would use the second Orion photo I posted above as it has the dark frame subtraction correction.
