Time to celebrate!! I'm finally able to shoot in raw!! Thanks Adam for pointing me in the right direction of the DSS Beta version.

8x1min unguided
ED80
Canon 550D @ ISO 400

I'm happy as a pig in mud!! :cool:

[renormalised]

Nice shot, JJJ, but don't you think that'd be a bit chilly (shooting in "the" RAW):):P

You'd have to roll in mud to keep warm!!!!:):P

Nice sharp shot. Great star colors. Not overcooked - just well done. :thumbsup:

[AlexN]

[DavidU]

Great result JJJ. You got some good colour in the stars and it is nice and sharp.

[adman]

Mighty happy to oblige ma'am (tips hat)

and just in case anyone else is having trouble finding it, the link to DSS 3.3.3 is here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DeepSkyStacker/ You will need a .rar decompression utility like winRAR etc

[OICURMT]

Wow!

[spacezebra]

Excellent JJJ, your images are pure inspiration for me.

Cheers Petra d.

Unguided?? Stunner! Keep it up!
:)

[jjjnettie]

LOL had no choice but to go unguided. Had problems with my guiding the past couple of nights. But resolved the issue for now, but it's going to be a recurring problem if I don't get off this puter and fix it properly, NOW.

[Paul Haese]

Very nice JJJ. Maybe just a tad of green in the background but saturation looks pretty good. You could always go a little more (more to my taste really) but not a necessity. Getting some nice images coming coming out of your site now. Well done.

[scopemankit]

Lovely image JJJ!

[Ross G]

A good shot.
Sharp with nice colours.
Is it full frame? if so, do you use a field flattener?

Thanks.

Ross.

[oosh]

Beautiful JJJ :)

[jjjnettie]

The image is cropped so you don't see too much of the coma in the corners.

[Phil Hart]

i just saw that beta version yesterday and was going to message you.. glad it's working for you!

hopefully means it will work for somebody else i know who was having trouble with the 60D..

[jjjnettie]

That's the only trouble with buying the latest hardware, waiting for the software to catch up.
Most maddening though, is that I'm still waiting on the Canon software to catch up with it's own camera. LOLOL EOS Viewer STILL won't recognise the raw files.

[Stevec35]

You're on a roll at the moment JJ. That's a nice shot. With about 3-4 times the exposure it would be an absolutely great one.

Cheers
