Encouraged by my effort with m8 and m20 the other day, I got the ol' DSLR out last night despite being two days away from a full moon and thought I'd see how I went with Carinae.
The result looks dramatic, despite as you can see by the blue/green tint of the stars in the corners, I have dropped the red off as far as I dare.
I thought DSLRs were supposed to be pretty vicious with red wavelengths. Or is Carinae just really, really red?
As before, it is the best 120 of 150 x 30 sec lights with 50 darks, flats and dark flats through an FS60CB with the dedicated Takahashi flattener on an unguiided p2Z. The original is 7800x 500ish, so this is reduced a lot.
I have to get around to downloading DSS on my real computer - my poor old netbook has been going for around 20 hours putting this one together :lol:.
