Hi folks my 1st attempt at IC434 (HH) nebula with un-modded 450D, ED80, G11 mount guided with WO ZS70ED & QHY5.
Qty 10 frames of ISO 800, 5 mins jpg exposures 5 darks added, no flats....why jpgs...some idiot left the file format in jpg mode! Doh!
Anyway it's over processed to bring out the hydrogen...I wanted more subs but because I spent so much time doing a drift align..and moving the scope twice...I lost time to do exposures up to meridian.
Is there anyway I can do a meridian flip & re-algn exposures in DSS? Will DSS do this?
I really need more subs.
If you want to know why I took so long in drift alignment...The area I use is a pool deck with lots of magnetic influences..so much so my compass is around 10 degrees out. I finally marked the tripod legs positions...with pencil...my wife will kill me if I damage/mark the new paver's!.
