Tweedledee Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 You still did a lot despite the weather and your camera problems. I like your widefield Orion nebula and your very blue Pleiades, did you colour it? The Alcor/Mizar and the Polaris engagement ring are nice and unusual targets.

The Pleiades are especially blue, not because I have coloured them but have removed all of the red and some green to remove skyglow. I've done the Engagement Ring a few times. It is a challenge to get it right and the idea is to balance the exposure time and ISO to prevent star trailing and minimise the background glow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
