A mix of images
Hi Guys,

Here are 5 images I'v been working on since june.
Its taken me a while to get around to processing them, but finally manged to spend some time playing with them.

They are
M17 The swan nebular , taken over 3 nights, the 26/6, 28/7 and 2/8/14 for a total of 4hrs 25m. With a mix of 5 & 10min subs. I have another 75mins worth but ditched them due to clouds.

NGC7293 Helix Neb. taken over 2 nights 2/8 and 3/8 for a total of 6hrs 50m. I'm not too happy with this one as there seem to be a lot of noise which I cant remove without loosing the eyebrow.

NGC246 The Skull Neb. Also taken over the 2 nighs 2&3/8. Total 4hrs a mix of 12x10 and 8x15min subs. In the top left of the image is NGC255 a spiral gal.

NGC55 Taken over 2 nighs, 21 & 22/8. 7hrs with a mix of 5, 10 and 15m subs

NGC2070 The Tarantula Neb. down to the Ghost head neb. directly below. 2hrs 50m. Taken on the 22/8.
the last image is a crop of NGC2070.

Great images!

However did you notice those solid black horizontal lines coming off the sides of some of the stars? Wonder what caused them!

HTH

Hi Bill,
Yes I have noticed the lines. They're coming from the camera as they are in the subs aswell. I've tried moving cables around in case there was interference between cables but that didn't make any difference. Its very annoying.
