Title: Witches broom Blacklands 180812
Post by: Fay on Aug 19, 2012, 20:21:08
This was from Blacklands, I will add to it, but will not get the detail. I wanted to get 3hrs worth, but dew hampered progress. There is a aircraft trail which is still there, I think there are not enough subs for it to be sorted out   
QSI, ED80,0.85 fr, 7nm ha. 4x1200

That's a real beauty Fay.
Glad you got something after all your problems.

Very nice.  That 7nm filter has certainly cut through last night's milkiness - it's given a very nice result.

Well done!

Thanks, it would have been quite detailed if subs had run, their course

Yes shame you had so many probs. I actually have my camera pointed at the exact same area of sky at this moment - my FOV is only about 1/3 what you got though.. :-( Did you do anything special in processing to keep the main star so small - I thought it would have been well bloated with 1200 sec subs...

Hi Fay,

That's got good resolution and plenty of detail but it's a real shame those other subs weren't usable as another 4x20 mins would have given you so much more to play with.  20 min subs are a bit like putting all your eggs in one basket but that's pat of the tradeoff.

Have you plans to add more subs ?

Robert

Not bad now the pain of putting it together for hours.

I thought you did not like false colour images, I remember you giving me a hard time last year :-)

Yes it was me.  However I am slowly coming round to it if it's done subtly.
