Thor's Helmet at ISO 6400.

[Asterix2020 (Paul)]

I didn't realise it was a hard target with a cooled, modded cam. Here's a pic I took last year. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...t=thors+helmet

It's a nice target, good job Justin with the unmodded camera. I agree the star field is very busy. I shot that at 1600 ISO, but I now found 800 ISO works best with my camera.

Sorry for the late reply, been away.

Hmmmm. U probably do encourage lots of thoughtful frowns anyway with that set up, and the killer results you get from it.
Well done, once again Justin. Lovely result.

Trev!

I assure you no black magic involved, just the luxury of dark skies and lots of processing.

Thanks Ray!

I guess I have a bee in my bonnet about what can be achieved with a standard DSLR.
Probably spend way too much time processing.

Just checked out your image, love the vibrant colour.
What sort of skies are you imaging under?

Cheers,

Justin.

It was taken from home, probably mag 5-5.5 lim mag skies, with some horizon light pollution. Taken with the CD-600D cooled and modded DSLR camera over 2 nights. Stacked with DSS, processed with Skytools, which I which brings out the colours nicely. No darks or flats taken, as I was using 1600 ISO and I use 800 ISO now and have a dark library for that but not for 1600 ISO. Will have to have another go at it sometime with the GSO RC8, as it was one of my early images with the Skywatcher ED80.

Thanks for the info Paul!

I see you didn't use darks or flats, I do the same.
My cooler box keeps my subs relatively noise free.

Cheers,
