Title: I dont call this a reprocess............ IC434/M42
Post by: Fay on Feb 03, 2013, 18:04:29
...........i went outside last night & got another 12x900 and added the other 9x600 to it.  So QSI 583 ws, Leitz 180mm Telyt Apo @ F4

SX decided not to work, so the air was very blue last night, had to dig the Atik out. then laptop wanted its disc, so had to go indoors & hunt that out!

I restacked the lot & all the stars were trailing, so was very upse. did it all again today & it seems ok.

It looks like a reprocess to me !!!!!   :-?

Sorry, the voices made me say that  ;)

Much better with loads more detail in the background - very nice

It's a "more data" post.  Anyway, re-processing is a good way to learn. 

Looking really good now Fay.

I hope you're not complaining.  :cheesy: :cheesy:

That's really excellent Fay!  The extra data has made a huge difference.  There's so much detail in the faint wispy bits and a great field of view.  That lens is a great performer.  It was definitely worth all the pain and suffering.

Do you have a larger version of the image?

Fay,

This is a great (re...... or not) image. (This is due to the fact that it is another one of your MONO images. I just love your mono.  ;))

PS.........Found a great place for a DSC..............just outside Hurghada.  :lol:

That's a lovely shot Fay, looks amazing. How do you couple the lens to the QSI?
