Smile My First DSOs I'm Happy With!!!

Woohoo!!! Just had a great session of deep sky imaging. I've only dabbled in it a little bit before really... just enough to frustrate myself and the retreat to some planetary imaging for a while...

The following images were all captured on my TouCam with my C8 and f6.3 reducer. Brightness about 80%, Gamma 50%, saturation 50%, gain about 70%.

47 Tucanae is a stack of 104 frames, 2 second exposure, darkframe subtracted and stacked, and wavelets in Registax, Shadows and Highlights adjustment and saved for the web in PS CS2.

NGC362 is a stack of 99 frames, 2 second exposure, darkframe subtracted, stacked and wavelets in Registax, shadows and highlights adjustment and saved for the web in PS CS2.

The Tarantula Nebula is a stack of 48 frames, 10 second exposure, darkframe subtracted, stacked and wavelets applied in Registax, shadows and highlights adjustment and saved for the web in PS CS2.

All captures unguided.
