4 Subs with 600D was managed, sad seeing them sitting there so had a go at it, basic capers, Registax and CS3 ! One sub actually had rather round stars go fiqure
The new humble Orion 10" F4.7 (2nd light) was also fitted with a Sigma 1.4x Xtender/Converter thingy and Baader CC, Subs were 300secs.
Hope it worth a squizz,
Below, I try a link for astrobin 3MB version (need to click image) to show all the gory, not glory capers : ) I kinda dig em, 'cause theyré mine , , details under image are Not up to date , ,
Comment & Crytique ect Welcome , ,
Well done Bob. Stars are nice and sharp and nice detail in the neb. The histogram in Astrobin looks like you could adjust the black point for the red channel a bit.
Thats freaking amazing for a 20min exposure, am I reading that right
? 4 subs at 300secs. Nice colour, and very little noise considering it's only 4 subs.
Nice one, Bob! Great colours, especially for a DSLR.
Thanx Rick, appreciated

Is your camera modified?

Thanx H pretty happy with it, yep. And apparantly 1670mm'ish, Camera Not modded in anyway, though I do use onbourd filters to kill off some blues that often show a bit too strong & personal custom settings I find helps at times, saturation, contrast, sharpness ect, I think most times they produces a better base image before processing ? Cheers !

Thanx & appreciate your Histo point very much Peter, I should check the histo more during processing, Lol, in fact, I found that that all RGB black point were still needing adjustment, though the Red was needing twice as much : ) Attached is a quick repro ? I did do a selective mod to the center, quite a dramatic change, but if you didn't or have another to compare, then, well, kinda Pops this area somewhat bettera ? ? : )

Nice job.

Lol Sandy, And Thanx much , , you have read correct, 4 subs at 300secs. The cooler winter nights help alot, I always use ICNR, and PhotShop Noise Reduction can do wonders if used carefully
Appreciate all the kind comments, Justin, Larry, Ross, John & David
