Taken on the afternoon of November 30, 2020 at the prime focus of a Lunt LS50THa B600 with a Celestron Skyris 445M camera.

 

Seeing was so-so as I was shooting over the top of a hot car and my neighbor's roof and we're currently having a fall heatwave with temperatures nearing 80F (a Santa Ana condition which is never good for the seeing conditions). But, the skies had good transparency with very low humidity.

 

Image capture with IC Capture (the only software that seems to work with Celestron's now discontinued Skyris 445M camera), AutoStakkert!, Registax, Affinity Photo, and Photoshop CC2020.

 

C&C welcomed. Which version do you prefer, grayscale or colorized?

Nice images. The red one looks more interesting to me, seems more dramatic.

Hmmmm both! Very nice.

Definitely the B&W image for me, some of the details disappear in the colorized image.  Have you tried Firecapture with your Skyris?  Mine is the 236M and works fine with FC.

Nice images, I prefer the BW version as it shows more detail.

Grayscale for sure, nice job.
