I found some FITS on my hard drive

[Rocket Pooch]

I must have had a fit at some time because I forget about these, they we're taken on the 17th September and forgotten about till tonight, probably because I spend all the next day doing my first Mars image.

These we're taken with the SkyWatcher 80F5 guided using the LX90 and a vesta pro.

M42 RGB 15x1min subs RGB HX916 2x2 (Mike can I send you the RGB's so you can put them through Maxim?)




Horse Head & Flame Nubula, 4x5minutes un-binned HX916



Oh and I thought I'd have another fo at the Vail in Ha from Headcord again.....

Looks good Chris. I like the B33 image (why is it back to front though?).

I will gladly run the RGB's through Maxim - do you have somewhere to upload the images to ?

Hi Mike,

Fits are at http://www.jumpers4goalposts.org.uk/images/Astronomy/FITS.zip

Horse head, it actually flipped at some point, I'll fix it?

Also do you have the contact details for the CNC work you had done on the EQ6, I need a new sledge and rings for the new to arrive scope.

He has had so many orders for them that he is producing them as a product now - http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ambermile/

I will take a look at the FITS files.

OK Here is a quick run through MaximDL, then a DDP filter and a FFT filter was applied to try and bring out the central detail. The alignment needs tweaking. Will have another go later on.

Hi,

I pulled that image into photoshop did a copy laver and adjusted the bottom layer for more luminence and the top for detail and then saved them using multiple image marger.

Bit better, but nowhere bear good enough.

[Mike]

Pretty good though. Just needs a set of longer exposures as another layer to bring out the detail. I think the seeing was all that good when you took the image also.
