You are progressing very well, I hope when I get my EQ6 Pro I can get results somewhere around this quality in such a short amount of time too.

Thanks Alex,

Longer subs would have been nice but when you don't have guiding it starts to make things quite difficult. I'm stoked with how much nebolsity I was able to capture with only 11 mins of data.

This is one object I am definitely going to revisit.

Matty, I did a little jiggery pokery to your image (made some adjustments to the curves in RGB and a bit of colour balance tweaking) and got the following. Hope you don't mind

Looks a little darker...not as much "haziness".

Did you take it with the 450D??

Separate RGB channels??

Thanks renormalised,

All my DSO images are taken with my Canon 450D.

Good job

Thanks Mark,

It is one of my favourite DSOs aswell. I'm looking forward to having another go at it soon.
