Title: M57 and M104
Post by: Daniel on Feb 12, 2008, 23:33:39
Just thought I'd post these, kinda happy with M57 although it's a little blurry, Sombrero galaxy didn't come out so well, though it's one of my favourites, so i'll have another crack at it as soon as the skies right (it's pretty clear here, except for a fine mist that's tinting the whole sky red) I've also just discovered how nice the black eye galaxy looks, took a few images last night but the red sky was even worse then, so didn't get that much out of it, definetly another for my list though.

Anyway, here they are!

M57 was ISO 1000 at 20s, not sure how many i stacked with that one because all the original raw files are on the laptop

M104 was 50x 30s at ISO 1600, definetly want to try it on a better day as i said, it's one of my favourite galaxy's
