[quote=Antu;313223]Hi Deeno ! Nice image, but could have been pushed more, IMHO.
To be honest given the parameters of the equipment and the data, final result should have been a little better. Especially if you shoot under very dark skies. Try to carefully check you workflow in DSS, play with curves in Photoshop, etc. From my experience even a single exposure of 2-4 min gives one pretty good results.
Thanks Antu
Your right, I was expecting some much better results.
Even with much shorter exposures with my much older 70-200mm but quicker ED lens provides much brighter images.
I haven't used the AF-S 18-70mm before for astro stuff and each image were much darker than expected even though the stars themselves were very prominent.
Perhaps the ED coating on the newer lens filters some of the fainter light out?
Anyway, it’s all a learning experience for a rank novice and gives me plenty to think about for the next attempt.
I've been playing with the lower iso but longer exposure frames and tried to smoothen out the results.
Tips and comments appreciated
Deeno
