Hey guys, after seriously getting into astrophotography about 6 months ago, and moving from the 350D to a QHY10, I thought I would share some of my progress so far. It was a bit of a steep learning curve when I got the CCD, but I'm pretty happy with the results.
M83 is 2 hours of 5 minute subs
NGC 1977 is 58 minutes of 2 minute subs
NGC 5128 is 90 minutes of 5 minute subs
Thanks. I'm using my 250mm x 1200mm Saxon newt reflector and MPCC on a G11. Captured in Maxim and processed i CS5. I agree M83 may be a little over sharpened, but I wanted to bring out some more detail in the dust lanes.
Thanks Ross. I like the running man too, it was before I had my COMA corrector though. Going to give the Orion region another crack with my shorter scope, to fit it all in, when it comes around again.
