Lagoon, with more Subs

[Shawn]

Finally got around to combining a couple of sessions of images of the lagoon. I dont recall the total exp length, the second batch was calibrated, and certainly helped with the overall picture.. Still trying, BTW these are with 100ED.. not the 14er, having a lot of fun with this little scope...Thought I might share this with my freinds here..

Have a great weekend all..

It's coming together nicely Shawn, tracking seems is a little out, but other than that great effort.

Nice one Shawn, it looks like you were starting to pick the faint outer parts of the nebula as well.

Cheers

[Shawn]

Thankyou gentlemen, your kind words and guidance are appreciated,,,

Looking good Shawn, the focus is better, and the tracking/guiding as well. Still a smattering of trailing though. Guided? With eht 14"?

No Gary, unguided, Although I will be giving guiding with the 14" a go next clear night....

Cheers s

Well, if unguided, then I am out of line, it is fine. Show us one guided first and I am sure it will be way better. Auto-guide, or manual?
How do you focus?

Nice shot!

Its too bad the core burnt out, if that didn't happen the image would have been a beauty (not saying that it isn't like that). It's allways hard not to do that with nebulae like the lagoon.

Kepp it up!

Hi Gary, I have not tried Autoguiding the 100 with the 14 yet, Its on my list. Ill be sure to post results


Hi Nick, Im currently spending a little time working out how to make and apply masks, my attempts so far have been dissapionting. Ill keep trying...
