Perkil8r Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was trying to think of a target yesterday, Steve suggested M27. I had never "found" M27 myself before, so I thought why not! Here is a stack of 79 60sec subs @ iso800. Scope is 200p on EQ5. Camera is modded 350d with clip in LP filter on loan from Steve. Stacked in DSS, Processed in PS5. A very interesting target, and nicely colourfull too. I am pleased, but feel I could do better, I think it needs more data and longer subs maybe.

Guest Eddy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wow Mike that is insane, you must be really chuffed with it, it's funny how you and Graham decided to do M27 because I decided it will be my next target after seeing how big it was at Belper.

oldfruit Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Your image has come out really well and there is a fair bit of structure showing inside the nebula. I also like the fainter detail (lobes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_Paul Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Very nice. In all honesty, an easing off on the red channel would be to my preference but we all see things differently. Thanks for sharing. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 hey Mike how did you manage to get a reflection of the Earth in the middle of that. That is pretty dam good sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. I think I may need to re-process this again later. I feel I have lost some detail in the lobes. The colours also do need a bit of tweaking, but overall I am happy so far I think. And it's another one off the list. I have a master plan to try and get as many of the Messiers as is possible from the UK with the limited equipment and skill I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
