Hi guys,

Here's 2 more clusters. The famous Omega and M6. Both are 2 minutes 30sec at ISO 800. I try to keep my darks consistant and was too lazy to do anymore

Celestron 10" F4.7 with Canon 350D Unmodded
Autoguided Orion ED80 + Meade DSI II
Baader UHC-S/MPCC

Cheers

Stunning Omega, Eric.

I like the diffraction spikes in the Butterfly! Makes them look like Jewels.

Eric,
I agree with Ken, very nice.
Not sure if it's my monitor but there seems to be just a touch of skyglow on both, perhaps just setting the black/dark point would make a difference, also a bit blue on my screen but i've had problems calibrating my screen recently so it might just be me...

nice shots all up for sure and M6 reallly does look like jewels!

Cheers Frank. you might be right. I don't think my monitor is calibrated properly. On my screen, the background sky seems black.

it's always hard to know. I remember a friend telling me there were serious dust mites on one of my images that I simply couldnt see until I brought the brightness of my older monitor right up.

great shots anyway! Like i said it may very well just be MY monitor!
:]
cheers
