M83
I think I finally have the spacing right with the f6.3 FR for the 10"SCT as I can now do full frame with the QHY8 chip and the stars in the corners were acceptable. I took 20x300 sec shots of M83 and combined in DSS and then processed in PS CS3. Im fairly happy with this preliminary shot with the QHY8 as its mainly for the colour as I'm going to get some luminance with the QSI583wsg and then put it all together.
I only did 5 min shots as I realise that I could have gone deeper (40 min subs) but the moon does tend to wash out the colour and details a bit and JetStar always use a flight path over my area.
Comments welcomed.
