Saturn Nebula NGC 7009

Hi folks,


Planetary nebula ngc7009
SW12" goto dob, 42 subs @ 20sec, 14darks, iso 3200 canon 600d. DSS & ps5.
thought i'd give the saturn neb a go in the tiny window of opportunity between sundown and near moon rise 1 oct.

it was my first real crack at a planetary nebula. the resulting image was reasonably burnt out (a little unexpected), was tweaking and tweaking in photoshop and could only manage a smidge more structure than whats here. will try and capture again with a lower iso or shorter subs (and less moonlight). any other tips appreciated.

cheers

rusty
