Howdy.:hi:
The weather here has been pretty closed in, and with family ties, there hasnt been a lot of time for imaging.:sadeyes:

I have managed a few star cluster, while testing various flatteners.

All images are QHY9 LRGB, WO Megrez 110, MaxIm and PS CS3. All are about an hour in total.

Gray,

Excellent work on the first three, particularly M41. I think you can improve the M7 shot, though!

NGC 3532 is one of my favourites. : )

Thank you, Marc!:)



Thanks H! NGC3532 is an awesome sight through a good scope, it certainly is one of my favs too. :D
I will have another go at M7, but I will think on it and wait until the weekend. It took me about 5hrs last night of fiddling to get it to that level.:question:

Very nice collection of clusters Gray. Something I haven't spent much time imaging but love doing them visually.

Thanks Les. I really enjoyed doing them.:)



Im glad you think the stars are shaped and coloured well.:thanx:



Thanks Hagar! I started doing them to test out flatteners, looking at guiding and trying for colour. I think I will do a few more as I like it and they aren't as easy as it seems.:D
