Well has been a little while since I posted a pic but since it is one of the monthly imaging challenges I thought why not post here...
Taken about 10 days ago from my fairly dark sky site (home
)with good seeing and nice transparency!
Image is 22 x 4min @ iso 1250 with modded/cooled 40D through 8" f/4.6 homemade newt on a Losmandy GM-8.
Guided with Toucam and PHD and clibrated with darks and flats in the latest version of Imagesplus. Run through some deconvolution in Pixinsight.
Finished in Photoshop with curves, levels color balance and some layer masks etc...
Been waiting for a nice night to give this one another go as it has been a while!
cheers Gary.
