Hi folks,
Have been enjoying some nice dark skies with reasonable seeing on and off the last week or so
Here is my effort of M64 the black eye galaxy. This is the first time I have imaged this and I am quiet impressed with how it came out. Was a real cold night with a nice coating of frost on the ROR observatory so noise was very low in the subs.
Image is 12 x 6 min at iso 800 with the usual dark frames (5) taken with my 300D and 6" newtonian. Guiding was done with my Toucam and a old 70mm achro. Stacked in DSS then done some deconvolution in PixInsight and some noise reduction using a luminance mask (thanks Dietz
)
Finished of in Ps with levels curves etc.
Image is a 100% crop from the original.
Hopefully its going to be clear again tonight so I can hunt down some more fuzzies...
All comments most welcome..
cheers Gary
