M53 and NGC5053

[RobertM]

Certainly doesn't compare with Chris's image but it is taken trom Orpington with 19 x 60s of exposure.  Still playing around with the hyperstar and post processing, which I think is slowly improving.  Still a few warts though the collimation seems much better but could probably have been more sympathetically sharpened.

Getting there, still don't understand why you don't get a one shot colour astro ccd?  Unless your waiting to mod a Canon D1100?
