Centaurus Glob

vash (Ashley) · #1 30-06-2008, 11:43 AM

well this is my first shot with my new MPCC and I must say I'm very impressed with it, tight stars right the the edge, can't complain about that.

I couldn't think what to aim at as eta was low and lagoon, triffid etc was in the glow of the coast so I aimed at Centaurus Glob.

Unfortunately now that I have full frame shots It's harder to get them down under 200k without having them really small

. But I'll find a way around that sooner or later.

Very nice tight stars in the image and crop.
Well done. The coma corrector works well.
Find an image hosting site like 'photobucket' to post your high res images - probably the easiest way of getting round the 200k barrier. And, post a link to the image of course

All the best

Yeah thats right I do have a photobucket login somewhere I'll have to go searching again, I just didn't like all the clutter on the site.
I'll go fire up the processing computer.

Nice shot

Core's not burnt out like I've seen in some shots. Nice colour too

Yeah, unfortunately FREE = ADVERTISING = CLUTTER!!!!

I also use FileMojo to upload files...

Not too sure off the size limit, but I think you could upload very large files there.

Thanks, I was aiming at about 32 frames then I though a few more won't hurt.
I have now added a high res version

awesome depth and color! Focus is spot on, and as Doug said, the MPCC is doing a fantastic job!

Great work..
