A chellenging target because of the proximity to Alnitak, the bright star in the image. This is overcome by stacking lots of short images and reducing each image with extremely high quality dark frames, taken from a reduction library that I built over several days using my DarkManager software.</description><enclosure url="http://community.tigranetworks.co.uk/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.00.00.88/0031.Horsehead.fit_5F00_Average16.Debloomed.Deconvolved.jpg" length="328004" type="image/jpeg" /></item><item><title>M15</title><link>http://community.tigranetworks.co.uk/media/p/67.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Sep 2005 22:08:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b8319e52-7530-487f-867c-2655374cdcd9:67</guid><dc:creator>Tim Long</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>This is one of the first images I took with an ST7 camera back in 2001. The dimensions are quite small (this is why I traded up from the ST7 quickly - I found the postage stamp sized images disappointing). The image is monochrome and I don't think I had purchased my color filters at the time. In hindsight, my image processing skills left a lot to be desired, too.</description><enclosure url="http://community.tigranetworks.co.uk/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.00.00.67/M15.jpg" length="25486" type="image/jpeg" /></item><item><title>How to fix an ETX-70 with a paper clip</title><link>http://community.tigranetworks.co.uk/media/p/64.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Sep 2005 23:25:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b8319e52-7530-487f-867c-2655374cdcd9:64</guid><dc:creator>Tim Long</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>This ETX-70 was knocked over on its tripod.
