 Horsehead
with Ha combined with Color - Feb 17, 2010
This image was created using my Ha image of February 17, 2010 as a luminance
layer and my color image of January 20, 2008 for the RGB layers. I used
ImagesPlus 3.50a to align, scale rotate, split LRGB and combine the
Luminance (Ha) and RGB channels. Photoshop and Noise Ninja were used to
finish the image.

 Northern
Star Trails - Feb 17, 2010
This image is a combination of 30 second images taken continuously all night
from Yellow Point Lodge on Vancouver Island. The date was 2010-02-17 during
the Vancouver Olympics so the ski regions and city lights show up in the
lower right. Many lights from boats and airplanes can also be seen.
