A few Messiers

[bobbyf (Bob)]

Even as a newbie, this is becoming a favourite part of the night sky, probably because there's so much to see.
I'm no expert, but i got at least M8, M16, M17 & M20.
Nikon D7000 with 50mm F1.8D, on a CG5-GT mount
This is a stack of about 30 images, 25secs, ISO3200 at F4.
Processed in DSS with small adjustments in PS.

I love the contrast between the dark and light areas.

Regards

Bob

Great looking image Bob nice sharp stars, maybe you could turn down the green a little bit and would be a beauty.

Cheers
Jo

Thanks for your comments. I'll try to reduce the green some, but my processing skills are somewhat immature.
What software did you use to get all the info Andrew?
Cheers

Here is a re-processed version after adjusting colours and saturation.
I didn't really notice how much of a green tint it had until I compared.
Thanks for the hint

Its hard to get the colour just right, but it looks spot on to me.
