This is another object imaged over the long weekend that I have only just got around to processing.This will be the last image for a while, I promise!

Autoguided ED 80 on a CG5 mount, unmodified Canon 300d, no filter, from a suburban Sydney backyard location

total exposure 24 minutes, stack of three frames.

calibration in IRIS, some mild tweaking and resizing in Photoshop, gradient removal with ABE

Narayan this is a great shot mate ! these bright globs are very difficult to do well in colour .
Your stars look great mate, congrats :thumbsup:

Nice job. Stars look great. Dont you love the ED80 and DSLR.

I think focus was maybe just a touch and I mean just a touch soft or seeing was average.

I tried a little deconvolution , saturation and dimming the background (see attached) a little to make the Glob stand out more but I think the result looks over processed. I like your original better ...

Well done... I need to have a go at this glob and never considered it till now..

Best Regards
Chris

It was three 8 minute exposures stacked..20 minutes is the longest I have ever gone from home in a single long exposure, and that was with a CLS filter

even with 8 minutes the histogram moved rather too far to the right

Sprung!
:) :) :)
Think I winged it on the night..didn't use DSLR focus....


but yes you gotta love the ED 80..havent hardly used my 8 inch ever since I got the ED 80
