Guest Yosser70 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Well my first imaging session during a full moon last night, good god what a pain! lol I did M31 again as I now have a focal reducer now and think it really helped as I think you can see a little dark band at the edge of the galaxy that I couldn't see before so considering the conditions I more than happy with my progress. I also tried M27, it was very low so LP was a problem (LP filter turned up this morning!). Is very noisy but I'm still pleased I got a bit of the nebula to show :-) Any comments on how to improve them would be greatly appreciated :-) M31 25 lights and 10 darks M27 25 lights and 10 darks Edited December 10, 2011 by Yosser70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 The reducer's made a lot of difference and you're getting the dust lanes coming through on M31 now - onwards and upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yosser70 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Ya having a shorter exposure and wide view really helps, though I'm thinking of doing a mosaic of M31 as I still cant get it all in. Also I'll do a lot more lights and darks next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
