First light with my 60Da - M 20

[batema (Mark)]

My first image through my nearly out of warrenty new Canon 60Da thanks to the weather on the Sunshine Coast and a broken leg. Taken at a beautiful drk sky location. 1 hour and 30 minutes with darks, flats and bias frames included.

It was a thrill to use and can not wait for the school holidays to come. Hang on. Full moon.

Taken through W/O Flt 110 and processes in PS CS 5.1. Comments more than welcome as I need to improve my processing skills.

Great image Mark looks good, although I only using a small 10" screen atm. shows a good amount of nebula there.

Looks good Mark. Should be all set for Astrofest now.

I have tried to increase the blue section of this and in doing so have toned down the red background.

Thoughts please.

Getting that balance right is tricky. That looks pretty good, Mark.
