Guest Philmarriott Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This is from last night using my Starwave ed80 with canon 1100d, x20 3 min subs and x10 darks. Just cannot seem to get the detail I seeing in other images. I'm new to it all so any help is greatly appreciated. Still getting used to Photoshop too.

red dwalf Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Keep at it Phil, its a big learning curve, Lake sure that there are not any bad subs in your stack otherwise it'll play havoc with the the final image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter shah Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 M13 works well on longer focal length scopes...you haven't done too badly with your kit...great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Very good effort, nice round stars and focus is good. We are vall still learning, so don't worry! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peepshow Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 As a bonus you have also captured the edge on galaxy, NGC6207. It's just under 1/2 degree to the NE of your M13. If you increase the contrast slightly on the image you posted you will see it, although it's very tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Still a great photo.. are you guiding or is it just very good polar alignment. I struggled last night with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Philmarriott Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. Was guiding with these shots. You can obviously get good shots by taking time to correctly polar align. Have a look at this website to set up your scope. http://www.astro-baby.com/HEQ5/HEQ5-1.htm I know yours is a 6 but same thing still applies. Hope it helps.
