Sombrero Galaxy 21-04-2015
Hi Guys,
My first post, so take it easy on me.
I have been doing Astrophotography for a bit less than a year and have about 40 photos, mostly of fuzzies. All my shots have been done from Boronia, Melbourne, Australia, where light pollution is not good. My shots are not going to be featured on the front pages of Sky and Telescope, but as one author said on the subject of Astrophotography, if your happy with them than that's all that counts, and I agree with him.
My set up is a SkyPOD, Celestron C11 (standard the not Edge HD), Canon 1000D, Orion Autoguider. Generally I take about 60 x 1 minute exposures
(any more than 1 minute I find that the light pollution causes more grief than it is worth) stack them with Deepskystacker, then take to the results from DSS then process it with Photoshop. Sombrero is not my best photo, so if there is any interest I will post some more photos.
Cheers
Peter
