M42 (for Davo)

[asimov]

Here we go Dave!

Not good but the toucam does sort of ok on orion. I was out & about last night seeing what this CCD can do unmodified. Shot @ 1/25th (of course)....about 50 frames. Can at least see the 4 stars in the trap! I had a better one but I lost it. :nerd: Thinking about modding the toucam.....but I'm also thinking why bother, my tracking is not accurate enough!

Now that I've embaressed myself by posting this yukky pic....I'm outa here byee! :P


BTW done with the refractor.

You have picked up some of those faint stars in that field of the trapezium asimov. out of focus, blurry, and in B&W we don't care, at least you did it, and there is some detail in there to pick out as well mate. A couple of those faint stars go down to +15 if I remember :prey2: :)

thanks for that, i have to get you looking at the raw mod http://www.astrosurf.com/astrobond/ebrawe.htm

it really tightens the stars up

i reckon if you dropped the gain to say 75%, used the raw mod and took say 300 frames, they would stack pretty good

thats great to see what it can do!!


thanks again!!
