red dwalf Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 didn`t come out that bad Paul after the fun we had trying to find M101 L.O.L. could do with some longer exposures now for the fainter stars to shine through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrocookie Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Cheers Rob Yeah. Agree with you about longer exposures.. and we thought we were over doing it with 3min subs lol. Got the hang of adjustment layers and the gaussian blur to preserve the central detail. Chuffed that I captured the propeller. Thanks for your help last night.

+TasKiNG Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice image Paul, Good detail in the centre of the cluster and not over exposed like mine I like the star burst effect so need to make one of those cross air things that you showed me to cover the front of the lens.

Astrocookie Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Cheers Dave If you're after a quick and easy way to get spikes, I've heard taping cotton across your dew shield does the trick. There's software that can do it for you but that's cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Looks good. Yes doesn't look blown out at all. How many subs and how long were each? Is the focus ever so slightly off as the stars look a bit ball light rather than points of light. But another lovely WW image. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made a bahtinov and focused accurately but noticed it did shift a bit when I locked off the focus. 12 subs at 180s for outer, 90s for core 12 flats, darks, bias ISO 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
