Hello and thanks for checking out my picture.
Just got my new rig setup and working yesterday but the clouds keep rolling in!
Running an ED80 with a ZWO ASI533MC Pro, first time using a cooled CMOS and a refractor, so far really happy with it.
Had about an hour tonight of clearish sky, just enough time to focus and get some snaps off.
Got a run of 15sec subs and 1 minute subs on M42. The 1 minute pictures look much better after DSS and some editing in GIMP.
Really happy with the photo only after 7 minutes all up of data in the suburbs of Brisbane city. I stretched the levels out a little more than I would like but it was still bringing out some nice details. Seem to have some hot pixels in there I need to fix up still.
Really cant wait to try some shots out at a dark site now... or even just a decent night :lol:
