Hey Ving

Those are mighty fine images for the LPI, you must have taken multi-second exposures to record the colours. How did you get rid of the hot pixels?

Cheers

Looks good Ving. I agree the colors in it look very good :)

[seeker372011]

Nice work Ving. :camera:

[ving]

thanks for the feedback folks :)
theres about 10 x 5 second exposures there, the redhot pixels were disposed of in a humane fashion through psp9 :)

[acropolite]

You can subtract a dark frame to take out the hot pixels Ving.

[ving]

probably... wouldnt know how to tho :confused:

Ving...I am proud of you.

Who would have ever thought the vingster (double star specialist) would turn to the dark side....congrats

The journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step...

Ving... I think I'm on step 3 or 4 (I lost count!):lol: ... where are you? You can't be far away anyway, mate! Good start!:thumbsup: Like everyone has mentioned, good colours - nice round stars in the first one!

The good news, Ving, is it's all downhill from here (take that any way you like!!):D

Hi Vingster,

Nice colour in the Jewel Box. Well done.

Beaut colour David!
I was looking at the Jewel box last night as well, thinking that a piccy would be nice. Thanks for posting it.

and all done with a near full moon :P (or was it full?)

this dark subtraction, is it done in processing?

[acropolite]

I must confess to never having done dark subtraction:ashamed:, my 20D does it in camera so I don't have to worry. Here's an article explaining how to do it with photoshop (http://www.takegreatpictures.com/HOME/Columns/Digital_Photography/Details/params/object/9503/default.aspx) and a tutorial on K3CCDtools (http://arnholm.org/astro/software/K3CCDTools/tut1/)and dark subtraction.
