M83 and Omega cen

[bmitchell82]

well just in the back yard of a friends house just south of perth, and utilizing the unused equipment (wo flt 132 and eq6pro thankyou grahame) i took a few shots with the 40d, temp was about 18 deg and seeing was pretty good during the evening. I think im going to restack m83 and see if i can get rid of the gradients present but over all im not to dissapointed :D

Omega cent 6x2 min no subtraction shots iso 800

Good to see some shots from you Brendan, had been wondering where the data had been going :)

Omega Cent looks good. A bit soft and illongated on the edges, typical of WO gear from my experience. Centre is nice and sharp. Guiding looks perfect as per usual. :)

Not sure how you've ended up with the colour gradients so extreme in M83! .. the centre being more netural-green, then going through red-orange to the edge which is blue-violet! Bizzar, I've never seen such gradient of colour before? :shrug: .. quite an accomplishment perhaps :lol: Detail in M83 its self looks great. How about a crop image showing more detail in M83? Looks like there's plenty of detail there to show. :)

yeah i know about those gradients. im going to restack it all and sort out the nastyness. but considering that it was from the back yard just south of rockingham a 10min shot with no LP filter is golden :) but i fear that i might not get around to it yet as im off to egypt till the 17th in the next few days.

stay tuned :)
