Guest VikN46 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) IC 1396 from last night, didn't quite go to plan and noisy and focus not great but being as it took me an age to get the part I wanted in a half decent position in frame I'm happy with what I did get. Taken using my usual stuff: SW 150 PDS, EQ5 Pro Synscan GOTO. Guiding: SW ST80 and QHY5 Modded Canon 600D with CLS clip filter Using: BYEOS, PHD, DSS, Photoshop CC. 15 x 300s lights (I had 30 programmed to be done but halfway through I think one of my cats decided to take a look at my computer and pressed something ) 10 x 300s darks bias flats ( although think these need to be better as image noisy) I think I may have over done the processing but first time I have followed a tutorial but I did learn lots about PS. Anyway here it is: IC 1396 PHOTOSHOP 1.2 by VikN46, on Flickr CROPPED: IC 1396 PHOTOSHOP CROP 1.2 by VikN46, on Flickr AND BLACK AND WHITE: IC 1396 black and white crop by VikN46, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

+RonC Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Very good Vicky, tricky subject isn't it!!? Do you use a bat mask to focus? You can use it with with BYEos and it works a treat! https://flic.kr/p/iHvyHt Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VikN46 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Hi Ron, Yes use a Bat mask it works really well, just taken scope out to cool and checked collimation and it was off so corrected it. Hopefuly I will get better star shapes tonight and no help from the cats! Edited August 20, 2014 by VikN46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
