Guest devil74 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 First attempts at imaging with the dob on the new mount. In attendance: D&J Flockers Ltd (thats Damian & James as we are expert flockers after doing two tubes ) Fist the Great Cluster in Hercules Canon 6D 60 second subs Stacked in DSS Levels & curves in Photoshop CS2 cropped in Faststone (processed by James) Next Jupiter wih the Phillips webcam. Th data on this was really poor as she was so low and done on a bit of a whim really. We were both surprised to even get this image. Phillips SPC900NC with IR/UV filter 3 minutes @ 10 f/ps Stacked in Registax 6 and polished in Photoshop CS2 (processed by me) and finally lunar shot; Comments welcome.

dawson Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's not a dob! It's a Newtonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi, cannot see the cluster, Jupiter looks OK and the Moon is a bit over exposed. Good first efforts though, keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 But all lovely. Really pleased for you that the mount performs well, and handles the scope perfectly. You've taken to the mount like a duck to water. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The cluster has come out superbly Damian. As Ron says the moon needs the gain / exposure backing down a bit but its a cracking shot none the less. You must be well pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest devil74 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Very nice mate a good start was only just saying to Paul that new mount is a hard one to get your teeth into Tbh Allan i'm not finding it that difficult, James has learnt me such a lot in a short space of time so big thanks to him. Thanks for the positive comments chaps. I can see the benefits of imaging already...just feels more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
