Guest Lad98 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Slowly expanding my DSO library. Here's my 1st go at M51 Took over 50 subs but only 30 worth stacking. Vixen ED81s NEQ6 unguided Canon 60d un modded 30 x 240s 60 x dark ( from my library) DSS + PS6 M51 PS by garymaddocks, on Flickr Think I'm nearing the point of getting a guide camera. Very pleased with my efforts so far. Comments welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 240 seconds, unguided - impressive. Lovely image too. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Good image Gary, nice and sharp, good detail too. I prefer the 'crop' version on you're Flickr site! Well done, guiding will be next and that can be a steep learning curve itself!! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan the Plumber Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Very nice Gary unguided too what's the light pollution like round you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Very nice, if your losing 40% of your hard won subs then you certainly need to start guiding, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Nice image that. Very nice, if your losing 40% of your hard won subs then you certainly need to start guiding, I've got to agree. Your Periodic Error will mean you start to lose subs and that's just a shame really. Guiding is well worth the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lad98 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks guys. Think I would class my LP as medium. I have a LP filter but keep forgetting to use it Going to bite the bullet and use some hard won beer tokens to purchase a guide cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
