M64 Black Eye Galaxy, & repro.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

( Just added a repro cropped a little more with less noise )

I'm really pleased with this galaxy image!:)
I usually have all sorts of difficulties processing these beasties, seem to loose a lot of detail.

Manage to keep quite a lot of detail on this one, happy with the colour too.
Stars still need a bit of work.
Sky was really transparent and steady, which helped .
Wasn't using the cooler box so it's a little noisy.

8” F/4 astrograph , baader type coma corrector, HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D.
12 x 5 minute subs ISO 1600 . Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7 .

Cheers,

Justin.

Super Great Results Justin :eyepop: Ive had a go at this Galaxy with the 400D and was nothing compared to this, Prob due to the 1000D being real good at iso 1600 & a good operater :thumbsup:
Top class :thumbsup:

Thanks Bob!:thumbsup:

The 1100D is certainly low noise, although some say it's noisy.
I think this is due to short exposures at high ISO or leaving live view on when imaging, and of course imaging in hot conditions.

Cheers,

Justin.
