+Graham Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well tonight I started off with the Bodes pair. Shot 51 3 minuet subs at ISO 800 using the 127mm Helios frac and the unmoded 350 D. The wind played havoc with the scope and I ended up with just 17 usable subs. 5 Darks Stacked in DSS Processed in PH6 I then moved on to M51 but had to scrap the entire session as I ended up with no usable subs due to the wind rocking the scope. At 4 oclock this morning I decided to have a go at a new target for me. Inspired by Andy's photo I had a crack at the Leo Trips. Still using the Helios frac and the 350 D !7 usable 3 min subs at ISO 800. 5 darks Stacked in DSS Processed in PH6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 These are all brighter than you think when trying to image them - so judging the sub length and saturation is difficult. But a great effort Graham with good results. I can see the wind had died down a bit by the time you got on the Leo Triplet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice couple of shots Graham. Couldn't resist having a play. Levels tweaked, gentle sharpen and slight curves applied using GIMP2. Here is the links for you to download them. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?j5do9whjwx7z5jh http://www.mediafire.com/view/?3m1pkabuu8y8q6y See what you think.

+Graham Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Pat -- cheers mate with your gear I think I would only sleep when it was raining. Kim -- Your right it did come as a bit of a shock how bright they got when I stretched them. The wind had died down but the damage had already been done, The constant rocking by the wind has created a massive amount of backlash in my mount. Mr T, Doc -- I am pleased with how they turned out. Andy -- They are brilliant, I probably need to go back and reprocess these now I have had some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Andy -- They are brilliant, I probably need to go back and reprocess these now I have had some sleep. Just go easy on the initial stretch as it brings out the horizontal banding. I get far to keen to see results too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice there Andy. I normally post process in DSS before I move on to PS 6. I will try it straight in PS6 from the auto save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
