philjay Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Took this at the start of my sessions over the past few nights. I wanted a nice star field to set my adjustable reducer to the correct backfocus for the DSLR and m35 is ideal. My main target over the past few days was M42 I have been trying to get over 4 hours of data on it but dont think Ivesucceeded yet, but I wanted to usethis to test the set up. This is about 30 minutes of 4 minute subs at ISO800 using the canon 1000d through the FLT98 with the WO Mk4 reducer / flattener. Flats but no darks as I hadnt taken any at the time of the test. Stacked and calibrated in Images plus 4 and processed in PS7 with a little artistic license on teh diffractionspikes. I put them in to give it a little sparkle Hope you like it, this is my fave pair of clusters Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NadeemShah Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I take it was done without a modded camera and/or with a CLS Clip filter as the stars are saturated blue...? Also the black point looks a bit clipped, just some suggestions Phil... Nadeem, Edited January 19, 2012 by NadeemShah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
