I am trying to extract all M51 SCT images, that are created with Celestron Reducer f/6.3, using a color CCD camera, in bortle index 8. How would the search field look like ? My image should come up, but I got this instead? What am I missing. Thank you for your help. Like

Hi Rich,

here is the reason why your search is not resulting in the desired result:

You searched "M51" while your image says "M 51" (yes, AstroBin should probably be a bit smarter in that case)[/*]
You limited your search to the "Description" field instead of letting it search over all available data)[/*]
Your camera is probably not classified as a CCD (you need to edit in your profile to specify that)[/*]

The following search does return your image:

https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=M+51+SCT+Reducer+Color&d=i&t=all

As I mentioned before, the forum is not the place to get users support.

Once more, please read this:

I will close this topic too.
