Duckadang revisited- M7, NGC253 and M31

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

While cleaning up a few files today I came across a couple of image I hadn't finished. These were from that fantastic week at Duckadang.

M7 from two different nights and with slightly different processing. Not sure which one I prefer
M31 for the night of h0ughy's triumphant M31
NGC253 from the weeeee morning hours (keeping h0ughy company til just before sunrise I think)

All taken with the ED80 but no FR. Canon 300D unmodded. Various times and ISOs. All processing done on a laptop

Very Nice Paul, love your M7's

[h0ughy (David)]

Took your time about it too Mr Ponders!!! Nice images there too!

M27 again through the ED80. (bit of strange red flaring on some of the stars that are not present on the original )

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Thanks Andrew and h0ughy.

I'm not sure which M7 I prefer. The first has better contrast with the dark lanes, but the second highlights the dense star field behind M7

Hi Paul, they are all very nice images indeed

great work

I like 'em! Now if only we can get M31 to rise a little higher from down here......

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

I had a bit of a play with one of the M7s seeing as it wasn't bordered and threw in a bit of artistic license

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

I'd be starting to worry if it did Lee

M7 is excellent.

M7 doesn't gets imaged much but in a slightly wider FOV like this it makes for a very interesting image!

I like both versions too

M31 looks great!
too low for me to have a go at
its nice to see it imaged, nice dark lanes in it too
cheers

Hi Paul,
A nice lot of photos, and I like the fine detail you got in M31, I suppose the nice dark sky helps a bit, thanks for posting them, and if you get any more of M31 id love to see em.

cheers................Jim
