Hey, all.
On the 10th and 11th of July I had my first clear nights in 1 and a half months!
I managed over the two nights to take an image of M83.
Telescope: 8" newtonian f/5 reflector
Camera: DSI Pro II
Mount: EQ-5
Tracking: Yes
Guiding: No
Software: Taken with Envisage, then processed in PS CS2
Location: 5kms away from Glen Innes, NSW, Australia. 1070m above sea level. Perfect skies here...
Exposures:
I took the luminance layer at 7:10pm on the 10th. This consisted of 65 8 second exposures.
The colour was taken on the 11th around 7:20pm. I got 50, 8second exposures for each colour layer.
I have ran the image through paint to reduce the filesize. Please
