Guest ben72 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Hi all, had a marathon session last night(06/4/2013). First everyones fav....the Leo triplet. the sky was slightly misty early on, and it didn't help that someone left there security lights on till about 2am, hence the graidiant and over processing. 22 lights@ 300s, iso 800 10 darks and 10 lights from stock (temp+expo) then, once the lights went out (finally)... had a stab at my first cluster, M13. 26 lights@ 120s iso 800 10 darks and flats, again from stock. as per the norm, all comments are welcome, good or bad...lol. update..... gradiant removed.

Daz Type-R Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nice one Ben, love M13, my fave glob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm amazed at these images - so lovely. I have observed M13 - like a glittering sparkling ball of stars, but not the triplet objects. Can the triplet be observed thro telescope or does it need long exposures to capture them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ben72 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 thanks to all for your comments I'm amazed at these images - so lovely. I have observed M13 - like a glittering sparkling ball of stars, but not the triplet objects. Can the triplet be observed thro telescope or does it need long exposures to capture them? hi Derek, i haven't done much in the way of observing,planets mostly, but M65 and M66 (bottom two) are quite bright, even at low exposures (60s), so i dont see why not.

Brantuk Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Smashing shots Ben - like the colours in the M13 one - and I can make out the propeller nicely - sign of a good capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
