oldfruit Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It has been a long time coming, house move over Christmas and new year, plus the really poor weather of late. Anyway, there is more wrong with this image than right with it, processing needs looking at. Some of the stars are not perfectly round etc etc. Also I was distracted by the Aurora last night and did not check my scope, it dewed over a bit during the last few subs. This is all a steep learning curve, cables everywhere. I will stop waffling. 18 X 5 MIN subs, 8 darks. Taken with ED80, Canon 1000d, finder guider with ASI120MM, Stacked and processed in DSS and tweaked in photo shop elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 well done on the first image, i always seem to get dewed up on the last few images myself, it was a cold one though last night. can i ask do you use a st4 cable with your asi 120mm guide camera ? i`m having problems with my camera using ascom driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was serial guiding Rob, laptop to handset, camera to usb port. That is because I have an older ASI120MM without st4 port so serial guiding was the cheapest solution to get me up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nice pic Mark. Once you have guiding perfected you're pics will take a huge jump in quality. Then you can show me how you did it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks folks, you are all correct. The intention was to get the rig guiding, once I have nailed that I will worry about image processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
