Title: I know I am boring, but...........M31 RGB Atik 314L
Post by: Fay on Oct 11, 2008, 18:03:20

Ok, when in France I did M31 with the Atik, without FR & not only did I not get much in but it was out of focus. Had a go last night, big moon around,
L 26x180secs, RGB, WO ZS 66 0.8 FR.  Could mess about with the colours, I suppose.

Robert, I have a new desktop screen. I have always had to transfer images from my laptop to the desktop & have to alter the images to suit, most of the time.

I am tending to get more green in my images than intended, but am still learning combining RGB subs & getting the colour balance right.

M31 is never boring.  It's my longest standing favourite object (after the moon).
