The Red Banana NGC6559 Region

EzyStyles (Eric) · #1 08-09-2007, 12:30 PM

Hi Guys,

Took this last week of NGC6559 region right below the lagoon nebula. Darks and flats subtracted but had to use the master darks as the darks taken straight after this image were ruin due to some unknown light source.

15 x 5minutes at ISO800.

You are getting the processing for your modded 300d really on the ball. Top stuff!

Eric, as expected, this image is a pleasure to view. Very smooth, and love the subtle diffraction spikes.
