Guest Eddy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Bit more time spent processing this time Edited March 2, 2012 by Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 That's good Eddy - I can see M42 taking a little shape in there - there's also just a tiny smidgeon of trailing - how long is the exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Yea i know, a tiny amount, 10 second exposures, I'm definately much happier with this compared to my first attempt at processing it, shows how much different the processing can make! I might try 8 seconds or something like that next time, funny thing is theres a calculator stephen sent me and I think it said something like max 13 seconds Edited March 2, 2012 by Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Still a good pic though - unfortunately you don't get long on dso's before trailing starts - so short exposure constellations (which are nice and bright) are just suitable to this type of mount - and I've seen folks getting nice planets/moon as well. If you're tracking without motors then you've deffo done a good job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Looking good Eddy, did you need to put the elevation in the calculator though? The exposure can vary from 2s on the horizon to 45s at zenith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Nope, I dont know what the elevation was though, maybe around 30-40? None of the calculations seem to go below 10 seconds anyway, hmm. Edited March 2, 2012 by Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
