[PKay]

Well done mate!
The more experienced make it look easy...it's not!
A great achievement.

beautiful, I think you can still get a bit more contrast and detail with the data you have, so don't throw away the source files. You can return as you learn and improve (we should never stop learning and improving, we are all beginners :) Oddly I dislike the star streaks in the Pleiades, it has such deep rich colour and tons of details the stars can overwhelm the shot somewhat. Just personal taste of course, no criticism, mine are nowhere near as good.

There's some really nice pics there Nathaniel. Really like your 5128.
What exposure times etc and how were they processed ?

Nice work Nathaniel. :thumbsup:

How many subs and exposure times, iso etc? What software are you using?

I am sure many are keen to find out how you went about taking those pics.

Kind regards

John

Would love to know what and how you used.

[AMG]

Thanks for the kind words.
Processing is with an old version of nebulosity and photoshop CS6.

NGC6774 - was 17 x300s exposures
pleiades was 10 x 240s exposures part.
Trantula and Lagoon Nebula were 8 x 240s exposures.

Ill have to look on my Laptop for the Centaurus A details.
