Hello all...
Seems a very long time since I last posted any images - life and weather conspiring to stop me imaging.
Moved into a new place and acquired a HEQ5 Pro in the downtime.
So here's the first light from this new rig/location. My new place allows me the luxury of setting up outside then doing all the monitoring etc indoors...sweet
. This has allowed more critical focusing in between each frame - hope it shows!?
Eta Carina Complex - 20.3.09
Canon 40D (modded)
Canon 70-200mm f4L lens + Canon 1.4x Extender
Hutech IDAS LPS2 filter
HEQ5 Pro Mount
Autoguided with PHD
18x600 second exposures (3 hours total)
iso1600, f5.6, ICNR on, Flats applied.
Processing: ImagesPlus and Photoshop CS4 (...love that Smart Sharpen filter!!)
High Res Version...
