Hi Guys
Given the awefull night skies weve had for the last 2 mths in Sydney, I gave up and indulged in a little no-brainer Armchair-Astrophotography again
.
Haveing said that, theres the usual hrs fiddling in PS, which is half the fun
.
M81 Bodes Galaxy
LRGB : L 60min Bin 1, RGB each 25min Bin 2, all 5 min subs.
Taken on a TAK Epsilon 250 and ST10XME (GRAS G5 in New Mexico)

Given this a NH subject, done to death by utter gurus, it doesnt stand much in the way of comparison, but I must say its cool being able to take it from down here and post it as something different in IIS
.
The exposure time is somewhat shorter than id do on my rig (well, by a lot
), and the subs are pretty short, but sheesh, it beats actually daring to attempt M42. Im on a mission, never image bloody M42, great for a 1st light and getting up to speed (in fact, how would one learn without it !
), but done to death.
Anyway, enough rambling, M42 can look fantastic, its a classic, have a click on this and think of something different to do yourself
