Hi peeps,


 


M51 seems a popular target atm and as I don't have anything else to offer I thought I'd share my take on it.


 


18x300s ISO 800.

ED120 DS-PRO/Canon 450D.


 


Seasonal 12 hour shifts starting soon plus shorter nights etc so I'll be back September'ish.


I hope to have a ride through and put faces to names. It's about time.


 


Clear skies.

Very nice work. Great image. Gives me more of an idea of the sub length and nunber I need when I get the chance to have another crack.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry guys. Had another tweak. I usually just edit the original post but don't seem to see that option now?

Yes Steve I continually play with settings (ISO, sub length etc) but, again, have settled for 300s and 800 with RGB. 600s with Ha.


 


Thanks for looking and the comments.
