Nice Louie, interesting to see a "different" sort of colour to that which my DSLR (and others) spits out.
Get into M42 now, it is on the "other" side.

Thanks Gary,I was expecting better for an hour of exposure but I guess It shows my lack
of processing skills at this time .

Louie :o

We aim to please, if not we just Aim :whistle:

[Striker]

Any chance telling us where it's set up.....might do a drive by....lol

You said your processing skills may need a touch up...can anyone help...maybe send a few of us the images or final stacked image via email and see what we all can do...then give you the important feedback you may need.

Louie

are you sure its in the processing and not some settings in the camera that are giving you the unfamiliar colours? every image you get great detail and nice round stars so tracking and focus are spot on but its the colours that seem to be just different

does any one else in this forum have your camera or are you out on a learning curve all by yourself?

[atalas]

I don't know Narayan , doing a day time shot using the setting I use you get a good balance in colour ,which is what is recomended . We'll have a look next meet mate and see what we can come up with. I must say that what I see on my laptop is a lot better than what I see after I upload the image,show you what I mean when I see you next.

Louie :thumbsup:

Nice shot,

Interesting colour. Do you think this is because it was so low?

Cheers

I'm game Louie

There's a email link in my signature

[atalas]

Thanks Tony, don't know If beeing so low would do that mate , would effect the sharpness I guess. Anyway I'll send the file and guy's please post your results !

Cheers

Nice Image.

I think your lack fo blue is due to an atmospheric effect at lower altitudes called "atmospheric extinction". Atmospheric extinction is caused by the scattering or absorption of light by molecules or other particles and seems to have most effect on Blue Light and some on Green. Anywhere below about 40 degrees starts to suffer from this phenomenon and its why CCD imagers do more time in the blue channel when imaging objects lower.

This effect can throw off color images and give images with more red in them and would explain why there is so little blue in your image.

Best regards

Wow thanks for the info Chris ! interesting stuff indeed ,I've got a very intersting colur of
one of my subs to post soon, very strange thing has happened to It colour wise after saving as fits and reopening in SX software.

Cheers

Thanks John

Nice image Louie but some observations. The Red and Blue don't seem to be present. I don't know why this is but I would look at White Balance as a start. Also to my eyes the image looks slightly out of focus. Just my opinion, hope that is Ok.

As Gary suggested go for m42 or the Pleides now. Both Rising.

Keep em coming.

[atalas]

Thanks Paul , your advice is much appreciated .

Cheers

Louie :thumbsup:
