A progress report:
Now with 137 x 4min and 22 x 6min subs, imaged over 6 nights using a modded Canon 1000D at ISO1600. Some of that outer shell is now starting to come through, which I am very pleased with. A bit of noise there, as I'm trying to squeeze all I can out of the image.
Wasn't planning to upload yet, as it's still a work in progress...That was until I saw an
article on the BBC today (linked from a thread in the General section of IIS), about new research using the HST into the atmosphere of a nearby exo-planet. It turns out that the exo-planet (orbiting star HD189733b) is actually *in this image field*, approximately somewhere in the red circle. I figured it was an opportunity too good to pass up
