Ring from the 14th April

A bit late in posting, I've only just found my password to my webspace  
Well here it is my first image for what must be over a year, taken through an Orange William Optics SZ66 and Starlight x-press MX916. Bias and dark frames applied no flats.

Nice one Paul - Glad to see you are back in action... hopefully see lots more from you soon.

Have you got any exposure details....? Some of the stars look a little square - don't know if that's my eyes or compression artifacts....

Cheers,  John

Welcome back Paul !!

Does the fact the ZX66 is orange make any difference ?

[Whitters]

YES Orange makes all the difference, you should know that

[Tony G]

[Tony G]

Paul,

that is a very nice image. So many stars on view.

Can you tell me how many frames, how long exposures  etc etc you did?

About time Paul, I thought you had become one of those you know, talk about it and not do it, astronomers.

Nice image, I assume that was not binned?

Chris

P.S. My Wo ZS66 is white, much  better than orange because wasps do not go for it.

50 x 30seconds, unbinned, image calibrated, stacked and stretched no extra processing.
