M-102 was taken at 200 seconds with dark frame subtraction. Finally,
there is an M-15, shot with the same Celestron/ST-7E set up but
with an Astro-Physics mount replacing the original Celestron fork
taken at the end of October, 2000. This is a RGB composite with
120 seconds for Red and Green and 150 seconds for Blue.
The image below of M51 is a combination of 18 five
minute exposures. Taken by Rockett Crawford with a ST-7 ABG CCD
camera. The telescope was Celestron 11" SCT on a Losmandy G-11 mount
using a F/5 focal reducer (1375mm). Location was in Oklahoma. Image
processing was flat field correction, DDP, and some histogram stretching.
Date taken was May 28 1999.
The image below of M13 is a combination of 10
five minute exposures. Taken by Rockett Crawford with a ST7 ABG

on a Losmandy G-11 mount. Location was in Oklahoma. Image processing:
Flat field correction, DDP, and histogram stretching. Date taken:«
July 22 2000. Note: I had dew zapper off and corrector plate became
fogged over at some point in the image acquisition. I'm going
to reshoot this one again soon.
