Title: M13 & M57
Post by: Rocket Pooch on Jun 30, 2004, 15:52:00
Both wide field, M13 with the 80mm F5 and M57 with the LX90 & .5 focal reducer.  These have not been stacked or processed very well.  I'll do them properly soon, but to keep John happy: -

Just as an addition to the message, I stacked some of the images using Stella Magic and ended up with the result below.

I was pullnig my hair out thinking why is this stack of 10 images through cloud not as good as the single images from the LX90 then realised the difference between the 80mm and 200mm objectives, so I suppose considering the consitions its an OK telescope.  However, its comming to pieces next week for an few mods to the innards.  I'm going to paint them black, there currently crome ?
