red dwalf Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 very light last night and alittle thin cloud about but couldn`t resisit having a go with the 314 after having it 2 weeks and not being able to have a play with it, so i had another go at M101, 10 x 2 minutes of Lumiance 5 x 2 minutes of RGB no darks, no flats, no bias camera got down to -8 degrees, it was 14 degrees ambient. very quick processing in Photoshop CS3, alittle noisy but it was me being too heavy with the processing as the subs were small and not very many of them.

Johnnyaardvark Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Impressive -8 temp. Good work on the image. I assume it was with the GT 81? S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 yep using the gt81, i think the ambient temp was 16 degrees so could have taken it down to -11 ish but working he camera slowly into full mode, still got some funny shaped stars but hoping it`s down to alittle slop in the focuser or the adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
