Hi all
My first DSLR widefield images taken with the camera mounted on my EQ6.
Taken on the 17th February, at our new moon meet at Kulnura.
1) Crux/Carina widefield
- Canon 350D + 50mm f/1.8 lens @ f/2.2, ISO800, 219s exposure
- Single shot, ICNR on
- Processed in RawShooterPremium (levels/curves/contrast) followed by DDP in Maxim DSLR.
2) Omega Centauri
- Canon 350D + stock 75-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/5.6, ISO800, 235s exposure
- Single shot, ICNR on
- Processed in RawShooterPremium (levels/curves/contrast) followed by DDP in Maxim DSLR.
I have others too, but need to work out how to process deepsky images first - including stacking as I have multiple shots of these areas (and others), but just wanted to post the single shots and then work out proper processing later
I'm happy with how these single shots turned out! I did some drift aligning earlier in the night through my 12" scope, so these, at a much shorter focal length, appear to be tracked very well.
There's some coma in the corners, and purple around the bright stars, but there's no trailing even for a 4 minute exposure (@ 300mm!)!
Thanks for looking.
