M8 Widefield
Hey all,
Finally managed to get my NEQ6 mount to not lose its data connection to my laptop. This meant that I was able to use Alignmaster to get pretty good polar alignment. So last night I managed to capture the attached image using my 60D and 200mm lens. Why is it always a full moon when I manage to get some time to do some imaging? Also the Souths V Dragons game was on while I was imaging so that added to the challenge of getting this data.
I must say I am getting pretty happy with my processing techniques to pull all this data out considering all the light pollution I am battling. Basically, any exposure over 1 minute at just ISO200 means I get a bright white frame...
So here are 120 x 30 second exposures at ISO200. Darks and Bias applied, no flats, as I was finding with these images out of my DSLR there was no difference with or without them to the final result.
Full uncropped frame and a close up on the Trifid and Lagoon. Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Jase
