Popular Post philjay Posted September 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2016 Despite the clear skies I only had energy for an hour so stuck with a bright object but one which I often forget about, M15 in Pegasus. Taken with the Meade 127EDT at F7.5 with the Atik 314L OSC. total of 60 minutes from 70 minutes of 4 minute subs before the mount hit the meridian switch. +Ibbo, +Graham, Bassinghamobservatory and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Not into clusters personally but that is brilliant. Loads of detail and colours. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyaardvark Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Great colour in the stars and nice core. Did you stretch the image much? philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ta folks it was nice to get the Meade running smoothly at F7.5. My ambition is to go for M1 the Crab this winter with this set up and put a few hours in (weather permitting) so Im gradually ironing the bugs out of me and the gear ready.

Yeah Steve quite a bit in levels and curves bit at a time to avoid blowing the core, then a bit of dodge and burn (you can tell I use film) with Shadow and Highlights. +RonC and Johnnyaardvark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Well the atik osc seems to work quite agreeably with the meade [emoji106] some nice diffraction spikes. I really need to get out and have a play... been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I wondered who would spot the spikes. A bit of artistic license care of Noels Actions. You dont get spikes with this set up but it adds a little bit. I used to stretch cotton across the objective but that gave spikes on everything, this is a bit less busy doing it this waySent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
