Many thanks for all the encouragement guys.
Chris - green from the unmodded camera and blue from the IDAS filter something I'm still learning to handle successfully I guess
Mark - thanks for looking
Scott - More data is always good of course - have to confess I botched 4 additional subs on this one with bad focus and forgetting to recalibrate PHD for move to a new part of the sky...
Paul - FOV difference interesting - I look upon the ED80 widefield shots of Eta posted here with interest/envy sometimes! We can always go crazy with mosaics I s'pose....
Trevor - thanks - definitely still a beginner at processing, but slowly learning
Jeanette - have been framing and rough focusing on object, saving position, then fine focusing on a bright star like Archenar with Liveview trying to get nice fine diffraction spikes, then moving back to saved position and shooting subs. Must have a go at a Bhatinov mask sometime, but happy doing this for now
Humayun - thanks for the kind words - Photoshop still a beast for me - I'm sure better is possible, but some early efforts I made on this one were pretty scarey looking!
Greg - I'm starting to get more confidence in what's possible, but still "hedge my bets" most sessions by shooting half as much data on 2 objects. I can usually salvage something from a night that way.....
Martin - many thanks - I've never had an image that warranted a "remix" before - I certainly couldn't get that depth of colour when I was at it! Loved your recent Eta widefields!
Cheers,
Rob
