Triffid and Lagoon in one! - DSLR via ED80
Hi All, after the usual guiding struggles managed to snap off a few pics of the Triffid and Lagoon Nebs.
5 x 200s and 1 x300s lights at 800ISO with Canon 40D 0.8x WO reducer and York Optical ED80 (560mm FL without reduction). I've processed in Images Plus along with darks but no flats (still haven't got the hang of those). Applied DDP, smoothed, and applied noise reduction and multi-resolution sharpening in IP and then finished off in Photoshop with further noise reduction and colour balancing - I feather selected the inner part of the lagoon to selectively bring up the red that my unmodded camera fails to pick up.
All in all I'm pretty happy with the result, but look forward to going a bit deeper with perhaps a lower ISO.
Comments and advice welcome.
cheers,
Rob
