NGC5128 with bonus dust donuts!
New scope, and some new equipment.
Sadly this is not the first light for the scope, but so far its the only thing presentable.
Getting rather annoyed with the dust donuts though - many of my images are destroyed by them. No matter how much i clean the FF and camera sensor, there is always at least one dust donut!
Starting to get a bit disappointed in the lack of sensitivity on the camera as well. Even bright objects require high ISO and long exposure times. M8 requires 10min subs at minimum to get detail out of it. Just a few more paychecks and it will be time to ditch the DSLR for a CCD.
Anyway, pretty happy with the new scope, but star colors are lacking. Trying to figure out why, i think my white balance is off on the camera. Bright stars also seem to grow a tail on this scope. Not sure what that is, possibly a FF problem. New FF in the mail so will see how that goes.
Anyway, here it is. As per usual, comments, suggestions or critiques are very much so appreciated.
25x300sec subs at ISO 1600.
No bias, 10 darks and 20 flats (flats weren't very helpful, guess im doing something wrong). Processed with PI.
