Vela Constellation

Hi,

More trying to get my mount right took some images half of Vela constellation, As it is so full of stars and dust and quite possible loads of light pollution I included an inverted view to locate the stars.

Used a new technique on getting colours best I could.

These images are just the start of wide-field imaging and last night was just a test to align the mount. As I get more experienced i hope to take clearer shots and replace these ones.

I think the stars a little out of focus but wide-field hides it reasonably.

Unmodded - Canon 450D @ 55mm
EQ3 modified motorised
40 lights
40 Darks
60 seconds at 1600ISO each
Stacking DSS
Post Processing - GIMP
