NGC253 (repro)
Here's a repro of NGC253 based on images I took at Astrofest last year. 100 x 1 min. using the DSI II pro through my ED80.

Dang! That's a fine looking repro Peter. Don't recall seeing the original, but really like what you've come up with here. Details are sharp, yet subtle. Nice one!

Wow - thanks for all the fantastic feedback Jase, Jeanette, Troy, Darren, Frank, Andrew and Greg. I've been meaning to have another go at processing this data for some time. I've learned a lot about PS since last August but still a long way to go. It's also been a long time since I've had a good dark site. There's only so much you can do in Brisbane.

Thats a real cracker of an image Peter - you should submit it to Meade to show them what the DSI 2 is capable of doing as it beats the pants of anything Ive seen in their advertising

I agree with Allan, a fine mono image indeed, especially for just a 3.25" scope

Really nice image Peter. Nice to see the DSI doing such a great job. I guess it depends on who's using it

Thanks Allan, Mike and Dan. It's also good to see these DSI's gaining popularity with quite a few of the IIS members. Hard to beat at their current price.

Thanks Barb, David, Fred and Louie. Colour is quite a challenge from home with my portable set-up but might have a go at it this year at Astrofest.
