Actually I think it was 10x4 minute subs guided on the ED80, I have to work on the image before putting it up on the Gallery, you will see little black dots, this is where my Flats we're to great and when removed from the Subs I ended up with - values for the pixels where the read noise was subtracted (leant about this in a book), but this can be fixed when I'm awake at home some time soon.

The Astronomik CLS filter is absolutely brilliant and now opend up the option of imaging with 4-8 min subs in my back garden with little gradient and a lot of detail, just a shame it does not have an IR built in.

The images was guided using K3CCD adv PE was 1.7 peek to peek.

Roll on DSC!!!!!

Next time I'll center it and do LRBG, maybe at high res?

or 2



or 3

I agree. The core is overdone on the other two.

Hi Chris,
I agree number one looks the best, and following on from a comment made by Fay in her post, that the images submitted to this forum and the galleries by the astrophotographers in the society are of an exceptional standard and everyone should be very pleased with what they have produced. Seeing the good imaging done here only encourages the amateurs to do better.
Keep up the good work

I prefer the very first, up the top, rather than any of the other 3. It looks sharper.

1st as well... what does it look like if you put it through Neat Image... Just curious..
