Ic 2948

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

My version of the Running Chook.
Imaged 22/6/11
2hr and 11min of mostly 3 min subs
550D @ iso800 ED80 on the HEQ5Pro
Stacked in DSS 3.3.3 and processed in CS3
Damn this is a hard one to process. It surprised me a lot how difficult is was.

looking good - btw where did you get DSS 3.3.3?

Another nice shot, JJJ

Chook looks like he's ruffled his feathers. Must be cold where he is

It's a beta so it's a bit clunky, but it recognises the raw files from the 550d, so it's all good!

Hey nice shot! the image scale has got me confused...is the 550D an APS(about 23mm sensor) size chip?with the ED80 600mm focal length?is this image cropped jjj? anyway nice work...reminds me of the shot with my first StarlightXpress camera(sxv-H9c)

Yes, I had to crop the worst of the coma out. A field flattener is on the shopping list.

A very nice image JJJ. Nice smooth colours.

Your images have really jumped up about a couple of months ago.
