Two from Last night With Tak.

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I posted these images taken through the Canon 300mm F/2.8, so last night i did the very same ones through the Takahashi 106 for some comparison.

Eta Carinea was pretty low at the time so I expect something better later in the year.

Please check them out and make any comments, god or bad, don't be afraid, I don't get offended easily, need to learn this stuff.

Anyway M42 consisted of 15 images @ 50 seconds each @ 400 ISO, taken through the Tak 106, and 5D, on G11 and guided with Philips Toucam, flat fielded, and dark subtracted, processed in Image plus, for some Contrast and Brightness, and Digital Development only.

Eta Carinea was processed the same but had 9 exposures at 2 minutes each at 400 ISO, through same equipment.

Both are un-cropped wide fields except the obvious third image of M42.

Please let me know what you think.

Leon
