Hey all.

Pulled my first all nighter last night, after finishing the local card game at 11ish, pulled out the toys and had a play in pretty good seeing.

First, Centaurus A: 24 x 2 minute exposures, SWED80 on EQ6 pro and Canon 1000D. ISO 1600, ICNR Off, nil guiding darks and flats applied.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edit and crop in Gimp. Seond image is the same but processed in CS3.

The subs seemed to be really good and right on the money. I just seem to have some problems processing this one, it just seems to go grainy on me.
Any tips appreciated.

Third, M8 Lagoon Neb: 25 x 2 minute exposures, SWED80 on EQ6 pro and Canon 1000D. ISO 1600, ICNR Off, nil guiding darks and flats applied.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, edit and crop in Gimp.

I'm really pleased with this one, very happy in fact. With more data it just seemed easier to process. I was also very happy with my drift alignment with eq-align and very happy that it only took two goes on each axis to get no drift for 6 minutes.

Although I'm not to sure what visitors think when the see the black holes and arrow markers painted on the footpath in the back yard.......any help is good help.


Take it easy...
