Hi Guys, two nights ago I showed you my first attempt at the Witch Head Nebula, and although I was pleased to actually get a result at all of this very faint object, I decided to go with the flow and try for higher ISO and Sub frames.

I don't feel it did much for the image as this one consists of 14 frames of 8 minutes each at 800 ISO, I usually only do 400 ISO, however, please have a look and compare.

All Processing, and equipment is the same as my last post. ;)

Cheers Leon :thumbsup:

Not bad at all Leon. Its good to see you take on this target with the FSQ. Its is a difficult target at the best of times given its low surface brightness. Keep at it mate. Go deep and you'll be rewarded...that's for sure.

Great stuff Leon. :thumbsup: The old biddy is one on my list for the summer too. I tried for it a couple of weeks ago but didn't get the exposure time needed to create anything other than a faint whisp. You've done well here. I'm still fascinated by your FSQ's ability to create diff spikes! :whistle:

I'm thinking that it's time to mod my camera...

Keep trying Leon....good work!!:D

Might have to crank up the ol' luminosity on Rigel to get the old biddy to start shining:P:D

Ah Chris I do the spike stuff on purpose to hide the very bright stars bloating all over the place, it is only a bit of fishing line in a frame to fit over the front of the scope.
