unguided 46 x 1min exp crux on polarie from Astrofest 2012

[h0ughy (David)]

this is made up of 46 x 1 min shots unguided on the polarie with the 50mm lens on the unmodded 60D - now if this was the 60Da? ISO 1600 f 4.5- very quick stack and muck about

Very smooth !
Nice colours too.

Well done one minute man.

Well done mate.

you got the half version the full jpeg was 31mb. thanks RB

[h0ughy (David)]

did a repro as i realised that there was something really wrong with the first one - too much baby poooo yellow

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Sweet as Dave. Nailed it.

[RB (Andrew)]

David the repro is good, you've got the contrast to 'pop' just right,
but I would have loved if you could recover some of the original colour range and those subtle hues back in.

It really is a lovely FOV.

Great image Dave, sorry I missed this the first time around.

Shows how the polarie can be great for stacked medium-exposure shots too.

I agree with RB though, some of the colour in the stars from the first one would go better with the contrast and background colour of the second.

I quite like that Dave.

thanks Marc. I will redo this sometime soon, so i can get longer on it. if only just to get more colour and depth

[atalas]

Nice work on the repro David!good contrast.

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

The repro is definitely better. It's a very nice image with just enough saturation for good star colour but not too much and seems crisper too. The meteor to the left of alpha cen adds a nice effect to the whole image too.

Cheers

Steve
