First light with new rig

I had a Nikon D3200 for my birthday (60th) and a T-ring for Father's Day. As the D3200 is self-cleaning, it solves 90% of the problems with white light imaging. Here's the first go:

The focus isn't 100% and needs practice. So does the processing. I stacked 54 images in Microsoft ICE and finished in GIMP. I used my Skymax 127 at prime focus.


 


With a clean sensor and 24 megapixels I'm hoping for great things once I get up to speed.

Get the focus sorted and you have a winner there. They are a big group of sunspots as well.  :thumbsup:
