Recently got some time to do some more imaging and was excited to have M31 and M33 nice and high in the sky. I spent about an hour on each of the below (90sec subs for M31 and 60sec subs for M33), but they definitely needed more data.. I just got a bit impatient
Both were taken with a Skywatcher 100ED atop a CG5-GT mount, using a Canon 60D at ISO6400. The images were stacked in DeepSkyStacker with darks and bias applied.
I had a little bit of trouble with the colour balance post stacking.. any tips for maintaining a nice but realistic look in the colours with DSLRs?
It was my first time shooting with the 60D and I am quite happy with the noise performance at such a high ISO, looking forward to guiding (next project) and getting the ISO down to a more reasonable level.
Thanks for looking!
