First Light (well almost)

Had a go at the Triffid neb... Thought I would get in while there no clouds about.... I'm just trying to learn the art of Photon collection and I have been reading posts and looking at the wonderful images that are posted here on this site. I captured about 45 minutes worth for this image using a SW 12" guided on EQ6 with a 450D unmodified in prime focus...I as yet do not possess much in the way of processing software, so I used Gimp to play with the curves a bit...and it said that it would reduce the images to 8 bit... so I guess thats a negative....I was reasonably pleased with the result, I was suprised to see the dust show up in the image...

I best be off to bed ...it's 4 am....zzzzzz

Kind regards

Paul
