+RonC Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's impressive Andy! Same gear as me (200PDS) - QHY5 which is on my to-get list! Well done mate, background seems ok if a little pushed. Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the comments. Processed with DSS and Photoshop. Gradient Xterminator. Very happy with the QHY5 picking up very faint stars and not losing them. Suspecting the noise is to do with using ISO800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Love this target, i'm so gonna have a go (when I get my stuff ) I took your pic and had a play in PS....I can darken the black but the noise comes through alot. Hope you don't mind Edited November 11, 2012 by Celeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Beautiful pic Andy, thanks for sharing. Lovely detail across the whole image. I went for 4 new targets last night (visual) and managed 3/4-guess which one eluded me?! That's right M33! This picture only makes me want to find it more now! If only I had a Dob big enough to see this kind of detail (obviously not in full colour) Ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Very nice, Andy. Like Mick says, it is great to see nebulae belonging to another galaxy. The bright knot on the left in the spiral arm is nebula NGC 604 which is 1500 light years across!!! />http://astronomy-mall.com/Adventures.In.Deep.Space/M33.HII-Star.Clouds.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
