Tarantula 2/10/07

[mick pinner]

l was going to put this night down to a waste of time but Dave/Barb were brave enough to post theirs so here's my ordinary effort
taken with Tarantula about 25 degrees above the horizon ( l should know better ), and transparency making blobs out of guide stars especially when hand guiding at f/10.
4 x 5 min with ED100 @ f/5.6 Canon 400D @ iso800
hand guided through LX200 @ f/10

:eyepop: i must admit i admire anybody that images in the hand guiding , you do very well to resolve the target , nice colour , good focus :thumbsup:

That looks pretty good - but a little bit of photoshop on your image turns out this:

PS

Imagine what someone skilled in photoshop could do
