That's a good image Paula!

Very good colour balance, and star colours are wonderful.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks guys

I could probably stretch it a bit more but I don't want to over do it.

Nice image. Interesting spikes around the stars in the bottom right. What's causing that?

There caused by the ed100 objective spacer's and can be fixed pretty simply by trimming them back, though its only seen on extremely bright stars and adds to the image IMO to make something unique.

Forgey (Paula) · #10 14-10-2013, 10:07 PM

I had a play with the data.
Might be a bit much but I think I like it.

Good effort Paula. That time again - like clockwork - the herald of summer in the SH. Looking forward to some widefields of M42 and M45 this year.

Kill the green.

Ah ok - I've got to agree it's interesting and does make it unique looking. I couldn't recall seeing anything like it before. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Paula,
Lots of detail for such short subs. well done. I really like the colours in this.

rcheshire (Rowland) · #15 15-10-2013, 08:01 AM

Looking good Paula. Perhsps play with R and B to control the purple.

Nice, I actually haven't looked at old faithful in a while!
Looks like you are getting good data out of the new scope.

What are you using for focusing, the stars are nice and round, but it looks just a touch soft.
