Did not think this would come out too well, but better than I thought. Loads of dew. Lost a lot of subs with drifting, probably all the cables I had trailing, must sort it out

Fay,

That has come out beautifully!  Lots of detail there and faint wispy bits. Shame about the lost subs.

Fay,

I do love your Black and White images, and prefer these to the colour ones, as there always seems to be more detail in these.
Keep up the mono imaging.......even though 'The Sky at Night' won't be to please with you submitting B&W images on their lovely glossy colour pages.

I think the contract says "Sky at Night will do what Fay tells them to do" 

[Fay]

Thanks, I am glad you liked it

That's very nice Fay, lots of detail and faint stuff there.

thanks, Chris & Robert

[The Thing]

Very nice Fay. The detail is gorgeous.

[Fay]

A little noisy, need to look at noise reductions programs. Any suggestions?

Fay

[RobertM]

Is it calibrated correctly - on closer inspection there look to be black spots where I wouldn't expect; but it's difficult to see from such a small image. 

Dithering your subs will reduce noise there are programs like Noise Ninja and Neat Image (both as standalone and PS actions).

Robert
PS. Dew on optics will murder your signal to noise ratio.

[Fay]

well i could not get high enough to see if there was dew on the scopes. I have done new darks, not sure about them.

[Fay]

How do progs like Neat, know what part of the image to sort out?
