Well folks, while this is the first time capturing Orion's fish mouth for me, I don't expect it will be the last this season
Ed and I braved the moody sky at Mt Blackheath last night and after some experimentation managed to eek a few 1 minute subs out of the rig before the Sun came up
Canon 1100D unmodded attached to C8 Edge HD + 0.7x reducer unguided on an EQ6.
This is a combination of 5 subs at ISO100, 8 subs at ISO 400 and 3 subs at ISO1600...25 were taken in all but I had to chuck the rest because of star trails
I need to sort my guiding out! Also a first for me, it features not only lights, darks and biases, but also flats collected at source
The outer layer in particular is quite noisy, coming from only 3 subs and seeing an aggressive curve
so I'll look forward to getting some more subs to improve this later. I could probably use a little wider field but I don't have an in-between scope just yet.
This is my first concoction with funky layers, and as always, suggestions as to how to handle them or anything else welcomed! Maybe I haven't stretched the ISO400 layer enough
