Update: The newest image is lower down...

Ok, here's the final result from combining 6 separate runs taken between 4am and 5am on the morning of 28/12.

The image size has been resampled to 150% and I decided to leave the final image at that size.

The brightness and contrast may be a problem, I don't have my trusty CRT on hand to compare with, and I am working on a Dell lcd display so it may need to be tweaked. If you find it too bright or "soft" then let me know.

Details:

13.1" f/5.5 newtonian + TV powermate, FL=11000mm
True Technology filter wheel + Astronomik RGB filters
PGR Dragonfly Express monochrome firewire camera
Captured on Linux with Coriander, processed with ppmcentre on Linux,
Registax, Astra Image and The Gimp under Windows

approx 12 minutes each or red, green, blue
red/green: 20fps, blue: 12fps

cheers, Bird
