HI All,
I had a great night out at AstroRons place last night and this morning with around 20 people present....best night I have had so far.
Seeing was not great with a lot of star twinkling and movement...never the less it was fantastic to actualy give the 20DA a go at a dark site for the first time.
I only took my EQ6 with the Orion 80ED on top and off course the 20DA.
I have a few more shots to process but these two are by far the best.
Taken with the Orion 80ED Prime focus
Both are just 1 x 5 minute image ISO 800 manualy guided through the Iluminated reticle eyepiece....what a task this was but I was stoked with the result...I need a laptop.
I have applied a Flat frame (I think..lol) but no darks yet...very minimal processing as I was only working with 1 image.
Had to highly compress ETA carina for forum posting guidelines to a point I am not happy with but I will upload the single Raw image for both of these so you can see what I had from the start to work with.
Comments welcomed....and please comment if I have darken these to far like usual.
You can download the 2 raw images from here...anyone can have a go.
