Nice images Philip,
this camera is showing alot of potential. The core on Omega centauri looks well exposed (not washed out) looks good.
the detail is certainly there with the M42 mosaic, how many image are there in this mosaic?

Hi Troy,
The m42 was made up of 3pics , would have been bigger but I made a mistake in the mosaic and I had to crop out the top .will do it again later minus the error. Thanks for the feedback

Hey hey, looking good Philip :)

Strange about the colour in Carina, but the detail is showing nicely.

Are these single frames? and What sens-up are these at?

Hi Ken,
Colour in Carina was played with in photoshop, the colour in the raw pic was much duller , I think I need to experiment with the white balance settings .this pic was with white balance at atw2 with 0 gain on red and blue. 360 pics were stacked in DSS with an equal number of dark frames used. The colour in m42 was as not altered in any way only brightness and contrast adjusted using curves. Any tips on white balance appreciated.
Regards Philip

Cool, thanks Philip.

Now push Carina to 256x and even try 512x :)
You'll have to adjust brightness and contrast :thumbsup:

Stars are nice and small :)
