I've Processed my Images, Now What?
If you're like me you will use some (or all) of the nice data on Telescope Live and will spend time processing it to make nice looking pictures. Sometimes you may look at one and think to yourself you'd like to post that where as many people can see it as possible. But where?
I've asked myself this at times too, and so my answer is as many places as you can! Or as many are as practical to post them. Hopefully you post them to the gallery at Telescope Live here: https://telescope.live/gallery
Other good places to post are of course here on Facebook in the various groups that are made for that and on your own page. Flickr also has some groups. Instagram is a good place too, and make sure to use the #telescopelive tag while there. Another good place is astrobin.com since they even have it set to where you can select your source as Telescope Live. There are even forums like Cloudy Night and Stargazers Lounge that you can post your images to.
Of course when doing this a very good practice is to describe what equipment the images were taken with and make sure that you credit Telescope Live if you are using data from their site. Credit should always be given on an image where credit is due.
Who knows, once you get to posting images and get a lot of good feedback, then find that perfect image you might want to print it and hang it on your wall at home.
Remember, you put the work into turning the raw data from Telescope Live into an image you are happy with, so why not show it off, and while at it make sure that people know where it came from so they might also sign up too.
Here is one of the targets Telescope Live has in One Click Observations, Abell 36. This was a quick 10 minute speed process, but you can see what the data they have can do. Not only that, but here is the data used for this: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?target=Abell%2036 so why not go for it yourself and then post it where others can see it. Be proud of your work!
