Hi all...:hi:
Well after being nearly mcnaughted out, I thought I better get some deepsky objects while we are getting this lovely clear weather here...can`t last too much longer!!!!!
Was getting rather late and did`t feel like hunting down something faint soo imaged a few favorites again with my new setup.
Seeing was excellent and transparent but my focus was not as good!
Still quiet happy with my first go at it with the newt..
Details: 6" f/5.6 newt with MPCC and canon 300d, 11 x 3 min at iso 800 Df removed and processed in PS.
Picture is much sharper than the post as had to compress it alot to get under 150ks..its not cropped...
Comments most welcome!!
Added a cropped image as well..
Cheers Gary...:thumbsup:

Nicely balanced exposures Gary. The detail looks good and I wouldn't complain about the focus - looks pretty good to me. I am always amazed as to how well these cameras work.

Nice work.

Nice images Gary, lots of detail and the little dark lanes really stand out against the nebulosity.

Great work

Thanks everyone for the comments...:thumbsup:
I am still experimenting with the settings in deepskystacker for the best results....getting closer.
the other night I redone eta-carina with slightly longer exposures and a better focus..should come out much nicer..:)
Cheers Gary
