red dwalf Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) didn`t intend to image this target but PHD was playing up so after a hour i gave up and went to M13, not very long exposure times in all, just 6 x 30 seconds 8 x 3 minutes and 5 x 5 minutes, stacked in DSS and combined in Photoshop CS3, no darks , flats or bias frames, taken with the unmodded Canon 1100D on the GT81, guided with the zwo asi 120mm on the ST80.

red dwalf Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 saving in Jpeg seems to of added alittle noise to the pictures, look better in tiff format, think i`ve got the propeller in the cropped version fairly nicely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Nice one. Love both the cropped and the wider view. Is the core a bit bluer than normal, or is that my iphone screen-eyes-combo? I hope you are going to print it out and pin it up in the kitchen or somewhere. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
