Help, the Triffid's got me!!!!
Evening all!
Finally I've managed to get a night where almost everything was as planned. I was able to guide the scope using PHD and my QHY5 no probs and I chose a target which was overhead. Unfortunately I'm not sure that the amount of lights making their way into my backyard really helped, nor did the arrival of the Moon (only one thank God!!!).
I managed to get 12, 2 minute subs at ISO 800 of the Triffid Nebula although I'm not that happy with the result. It looks a little washed out for mine but I guess with all the light around it was always going to be a problem. I've attached a quickly processed image for critique - both good and bad!!
Cheers,
Mario
