[Striker (Tony)]

Even though I am planning to mainly image with Luminance until I get more of an understanding how this ccd stuff works.

I couldn't resist trying out my color filters for the first time on this easy target.

I'm telling you this is whole lot of work. this image took 4 times longer then it would have with a DSLR....and a hell of alot more processing.
Data was collected over 4 brief sessions then you have to somehow combine all your data and hope it looks ok...hehehe

Flats, Bias and Dark frame calibrated with each channel

Not as sharp as I would have liked but its not easy imaging at 2500mm F10..well for me anyway.

LRGB 50:40:40:40 all 2x2 binning
5 minute exposures autoguided with internal guide chip.

I'm happy that I could atleast complete the image and it looks like the orion but not that thrilled for the amount of time I put into it.

Looks like I have plenty to work on....I have to keep reminding myself just small step Tony...lol
