Hi everyone,
After months of tearing my hair out, I've finally got my head around some of the complexities of imaging with my SBIG 8300c CCD. This result is from a few stacked 5 min exposures and darks, guided with PHD, Orion SSAG on a 120 ED refractor, mounted on an EQ6.
With special thanks to some good advice from an experienced ASV member, I've managed to capture & pre-process this with Nebulosity on the Macbook, and post process in Photoshop.
Still a long way to go, I know... and I need to get a better focuser and a flattener.
BTW: What do you recommend for dew heaters? It's chilly in Melbourne right now.
Thanks for looking
Warmly
Andy
