IC2602 Southern Pleiades quickie

Testing flatteners again, thought I'd get some RGB practise in before Astrofest. Still some tweaking of spacing between flattener (Televue TRF-2008) and camera to be done (stars in the corners still a little eggy).

Astrobin bigger version (http://www.astrobin.com/full/192679/0/)

Pretty cool. :thumbsup: Don't worry about the stars in the corners. Nothing that a keg can't fix.

Nice one, Troy! Colour looks better in the IIS preview than Astrobin on my crappy laptop monitor. Colour management brain damage strikes again!

Cheers,
Rick.

A vey nice image of this cluster Troy and I agree with Marc any star distortion visible is pretty minor and doesn't bother me, it's about the image as a whole for me and not how absolutely perfect the flatness of the field is and a as whole it looks good :)

Nice image Troy, corners look good you must be very close with the spacing

Cheers geoff

Thanks mate. The more I better, the drink they look. :)



Cheers. :) They look same (or very close) here. Usually it's the highly compressed (filesize restricted) IIS images that I can't get to look good.



Thanks mate. I'm being picky on my own images, and of course I can see all the sins and defects in more detail than web display images. I've got a variable spacer on order and am confident that will fix it.



Thanks mate. Good to be back on the horse and imaging. See you this weekend. :)

I like the rich little cluster toward the top. You've shown how the big fellow relates to the milky way background, rather than showing it as a "binocular highlight".
