My first CCD Image Tarrantula

This CCD stuff is a huge learning curve for me.

I am going to take it a step at a time. firstly working with only luminance channel..color can come later once I work out what the hell I am doing.

This image is 30 x 1 minute unguided exposure just dark subtracted..flats can also come later...lol

Cant get the autoguiding working the internal guider and are awaiting for my external guide camera.

Scope 10" LX200R imaged at F10 2500mm FL
Camera STL11000 binned 2x2 at -15
Processed in Imagesplus and Photoshop

I am not sure how this will look on your monitor as I am processing everything on my Laptop until My new monitor turns up tomorrow.

Pretty happy with first result
Slightly Higher Rez
