NGC3132, Eight Burst Nebula

Done with C8@F10. 2hrs of ISO400@5min & ISO800@5min, data. Darks, no flats. Curves & levels in CS3.

Anyway, tracking was good & focus Ok but the image centre star is overexposed. Needs shorter subs...and I guess if I modified by front filter then I'd pick up more Ha...aka...finer detail.

This is image is a little "blocky" as it is an enlarged crop & jpg conversion doesn't help as well. Nowhere near as good as Scott's image a few days back. My try just doesn't have the details.

The night sky was...poor...well that's my excuse.
