Hi All,
As a self confessed processing "waste of space"...I have recently had my M42 data that I took between 2am and 3:30am on the 3rd January given the once over by Jeanette Dunphy who has kindly extracted more out of my data than I could ever do.
A total of 34 mins exposure through a Black Diamond 200mm Newtonian, on HEQ5Pro, using a Canon 1000D, Baader MPCC (for some) and guided using Orion Mini Guidescope and Toucam using PHD... varying subs of 15, 30, 60, 180 and 300 secs.
I have to sort out my collimation and fit some longer screws so the focus is better with the MPCC as the focuser was racked all the way in to JUST get focus (ish)....so please ignore the sloppy stars...
Thanks JJJ, I am in debt to you and I have enrolled in Photoshop 101 at my local community college...
I had heaps of fun out there again with cranky capture programs and am stoked that PHD was working a treat with my new Orion Mini Guide scope....I love it!....
The first photo is one of my 30 sec subs at ISO 1600 showing a Satellite trailing though it.... the second is the repro by Jeanette using 34 mins of my data.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
Cheers
Chris
