Rob's Three Color Composite Image Gallery

Herein lies my pride and joy, just redesigned for the move to the University of Rochester (It only took me a year!).  All images were taken using the Austin-Fellows 0.82m Newtonian telescope with a Finger Lakes Instruments 1024x1024 SITe-based CCD camera and Johnson-standard R, V, and B filters at the Stull Observatory at Alfred University (unless otherwise noted).  All basic image processing, ie. dark subtraction and flat fielding, was done using RSI's Interactive Data Language (IDL).  Three color image combination was done using 'ThreeColor', my first (successful) IDL GUI package.  All thumbnails are linked to the full-sized images...  A planned redesign will involve pages containing a blurb of information about the object and image(s) and a link to a more detailed SEDS webpage about the object.
