Guest Kheldar Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) First light with the f4 : I need to read a lot more tutorials on processing though 450D (mod) + Altair 8" f4 + MPCC (unguided) [Forgot the flipping CLS filter!] 64 x 60s OSC 20 flats, darks and bias Stacked, tweak in DSS, tweak in CS5, Gradient exterminator 25% compression to fit under the 1MB limit I should have the money Monday to order the Synscan upgrade so fingers crossed I can sort my dodgy DEC axis out (knew I should not have taken it apart!) I know from earlier testing that CLS + 120s gives much more detail in the Bubble that this has. Edited January 29, 2012 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thats nice. When I went for M52 last year I totally missed it and ended up with the Bubble instead, which was nice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kheldar Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nice try upping the saturation a tad it might bring out a little more Probably down to my poor skils, but every time I up the saturation, the stars go blue?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
