unguided 46 x 1min exp crux on polarie from Astrofest 2012

[h0ughy]

this is made up of 46 x 1 min shots unguided on the polarie with the 50mm lens on the unmodded 60D - now if this was the 60Da? ISO 1600 f 4.5- very quick stack and muck about

[RB]

Very smooth !
Nice colours too.

Well done one minute man.

:D

[h0ughy]

David, the hi-res of this one you emailed me, the one I had to make a new .PST file for :rolleyes: , is simply wonderful.

Well done mate.

[h0ughy]

:rofl: you got the half version the full jpeg was 31mb. thanks RB:help::thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

did a repro as i realised that there was something really wrong with the first one - too much baby poooo yellow;):lol::help:

[jjjnettie]

Sweet as Dave. Nailed it.

[RB]

David the repro is good, you've got the contrast to 'pop' just right,
but I would have loved if you could recover some of the original colour range and those subtle hues back in.

It really is a lovely FOV.

Great image Dave, sorry I missed this the first time around.

Shows how the polarie can be great for stacked medium-exposure shots too.

I agree with RB though, some of the colour in the stars from the first one would go better with the contrast and background colour of the second.

[gregbradley]

I quite like that Dave.

Greg.

[h0ughy]

thanks RB - have to show me how one day

yes it has bee na real eye opener for me sadly the polarie is no good with larger lenses



thanks Greg

[h0ughy]

[iceman]

Nice re-pro Dave!

[h0ughy]

thanks Anne-Louise

glad you like this one Mike;):lol:

[multiweb]

I like the repro too. Very nice. I wish I could see the milkyway from my backyard.

[h0ughy]

thanks Marc. I will redo this sometime soon, so i can get longer on it. if only just to get more colour and depth:shrug:

[atalas]

Nice work on the repro David!good contrast.

[Stevec35]

The repro is definitely better. It's a very nice image with just enough saturation for good star colour but not too much and seems crisper too. The meteor to the left of alpha cen adds a nice effect to the whole image too.

Cheers

Steve
