oldfruit Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) It is still early days for me and imaging but thought i would have a crack at M57 tonight as it is an easy target and bright. This was taken with a Helios 8 inch Newtonian on an EQ5, Canon 1000d. 10X 20 sec iso 400, 10x 20 sec iso 800 and 10x darks. I am quite happy how it has come out, some colour is starting to show and i think that the central star can be seen when i zoom in on the original image.. I would like to have a go at this at a longer focal length at some point. Clear skies. Edited July 30, 2012 by oldfruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
