M8 again

[beren]

Heres another attempt at M8, first real attempt at getting a bunch of images and stacking them , 24 x 2min & 800iso through a orion ed 80mm . I tried both registak and PScs and the registak version i think turned out better.

Nice coverage Stuart. Top shot. Great detail for the wide angle.

[Striker (Tony)]

Stuart about time you started to post some images....where you been.

I am a fair way off trying 2 minute exposures and at that ISO would come out very washed out with too much Light polution.

Nice shot BTW.

[atalas]

Good shot beren , are these 2 minute subs guided or are these unguided subs ?
Stuart did you use a filter ? and did you use the force ?

Nice pic Stuart! In fact, I'll say thats a damn fine pic. Are you auto guiding mate?

[beren]

Louie/Robin the night i took the shots i had a band of cloud threatening most of the night so i didnt hook up for guiding although thanks to Paul im starting to make some ground when i use it {with Kctools} but its still dangerously frustrating and the dark side is ever present Filterwise i use the hutech LPS which i find pushes exposure times double that without.thanks everyone

Great Shot!!!
I hate those clouds too..
