Iceman does DSO's!! Jewelbox and Omega Cent!

Who'd have thunk it!?

These two DSO images were taken tonight, at about 8pm from my backyard with the 10" GSO Dob on the EQ platform, 14mm Meade UWA s4000 eyepiece, and Canon 350D sitting on top of a tripod pointing the 18-55mm lens into the eyepiece.

The jewelbox is 3 shots @ 2.5s each, ISO 1600, NR on, stacked in registax and curves adjusted in photoshop.

The omega centauri is a single shot @ 4s, ISO 1600, NR on, curves adjusted in photoshop.

It was kind of fun taking them, since they're my first DSO images through the telescope with the 350D I don't think i'll make a career out of it though

Comments welcome.
