Guest VikN46 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi all, Along with my image of M27 the other night just before I called it a night I thought I would give my 600D modded camera one last target to test it on and test the guiding too, I am very happy with the results. Although its the only the Northern Area due to the size! The colour image is 1 x 300s sub The Black and White is 1 x 400s sub SW 150 PDS, EQ5 Pro Synscan GOTO. Guiding: SW ST80 and QHY5 Modded Canon 600D with CLS clip filter Using: BYEOS, PHD, DSS and trial version of Photoshop. ISO 400 Cannot wait to get more data and have another go.

Allan the Plumber Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That's amazing for a single sub of 300 seconds guess LP must be low in your location!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VikN46 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) My skies are pretty light polluted as I only live about a 5 mins drive from the City centre and Highcross Shopping Centre, I am a little bit higher up so maybe that helps a little or more likely just beginners luck Edited June 27, 2014 by VikN46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 nicely done, look very promising for a single sub, but interested to know how did you get a black and white image with a colour camera ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VikN46 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 nicely done, look very promising for a single sub, but interested to know how did you get a black and white image with a colour camera ? I just clicked on the Black and White button on Photoshop and I got an instant black and white picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 you learn something every day, i`ll have a look at that myself, my version of Photoshop is CS3 so i not sure if it has that option but will certainly have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest devil74 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Absolutely amazing Vicky for single subs. Just venturing into the EOS world myself so you're shots give me great encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right Rob. You should find greyscale under edit -image for older versions of PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Lovely images Vicky. As a nikon user I may also at some point still venture into the modded Canon world at some point. Really quite nice and sharp star fields. The guiding is working well. Are you using a coma corrector too? Keep them coming. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VikN46 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes I forgot to add it on but I am also using the SW coma corrector along with the Astronomik CLS Clip filter ( the filter has really made a difference)I can safely say I am addicted to this imaging lark now So glad that getting my camera is paying off and it was defiantly money well spent, despite my EQ5 being a bit over its stated imaging load it seems to be coping for now. Next purchase will be a better mount but for now I am very happy with what I have got. Thanks all for you kind comments:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 it certainly can be very addictive Vicky, but you seem to have got the knack for it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
