Perkil8r Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thought I would try something different, my lack of goto really does tell on this image. I am very pleased that the work I have done to restore my mount appears to have been very successful as I think you may be able to tell from the image. I seem to have trouble with processing this for some reason, maybe tiredness. Details: Scope: st80 Mount: EQ5 unguided. Camera: Modded Canon 350d with CLS Clip filter. Exposures: 183 x 100secs @ iso 800 Processing: Stacked in DSS, process in PS5. Final stack: 164 x 100 sec subs with flats and darks. Taken at Belper dark site.

Mr Blobby caused a wee bit of gradient which was handled by grad-x. The stars do take a bit of managing in the processing, but I am getting the knack of that now. Really enjoying pushing the kit to the limits and beyond to tell the truth. Rather pleasing to know such cheap set ups can get half decent pictures.
