Hi All
I finally got back home for a few days and had a clear night ... time to remember what I used to do before my accident ... believe me I couldn't even remember how to operate my mount controller etc. Anyway I can't spend too long sitting with my leg down these days so I decided to do 2x20 minute exposures of Orion and Running Man and mosaic stack them for fun to see how it would look. This is my first attempt at mosaic stacking and I had to clone the joins in CS3 but it's not too bad I think. As usual I burned out the core but then that's what you get with a single 20 minute exposure. Also for some reason DSS produced a greyscale image ... which I quite like actually. Anyhow I have to go back to the city tomorrow so this is it for a while.
DETAILS :
1x1200 sec exposure of each object mosaic stacked
WOFLT110 Triplet Apo Refractor
SBIG ST2000XCM selfguided with CCDOPS
EQ6 Pro
Stacked in DSS adjusted in CS3
