Who needs 3 hours?

This M20 was taken in 3 minutes, 6x30 second subs at ISO 6400.

Canon 1100D, 8" F6 newt. Unguided.

I have recently been reprocessing some of my pictures in StarTools and was pretty happy with the result of this one.

Obviously could do with some more data but I think it turned out alright.

Cheers
Jo

Wow!! Stunning job Jo, but I think you could quieten the colour a touch.
[for my taste, anyway].

I don't mind the colour. But how on Earth can you get that in 3 minutes? That's not even remotely possible from here. I need the 3 hours!

Hmmmm. The intelligent responses. The expert craftsmanship. The interesting innovation. And now, brilliant photos in only 3 minutes (obviously taken from space)!

The evidence is there. Jo is ..... from the future.

Excellent work Jo... You have inspired me to (try) replicate what you've done... stepped outside and too bad them clouds are a bit of a hindrance this time of the year

Well done

Pretty staggering image given the short exposure. How dark were your skies?

I have one of Trifid I did with my Modded 1100D. Only 30 sec subs but I didn't post it because it's not very good. Colours are wrong. No Blue from the reflection at all. I didn't think a Modded Camera would pick up the blue.

Thanks every one for your nice comments

I'm not sure how dark I would rate the skies here, a fair bit of LP on the horizon but pretty nice overhead.

Unmodded cameras can give some nice colours, just look at Justin's images

Cheers
Jo

The blue is still there in modified cameras, but the Ha can be overpowering. When I took M20 with my modded camera, I used a blue filter to subdue the Ha a bit and restore some balance.

I'm even more impressed; You changed the colour just for me.
Absolutely beautiful.

That's fantastic!
it's like Hyperstar DSLR imaging with a big newt!! Remarkable really. Love it

Now do the Lagoon in five minutes forty seconds!!!!!

cometcatcher (Kevin) · #18 24-05-2014, 09:24 PM

Jo's next scope is F5. He will have so much speed he won't know what to do with it.

raymo · #19 24-05-2014, 10:47 PM

He can collect the surplus in a bucket, and send it to me.

A very nice result Jo. A few more subs and we'ed be looking into unknown tracts of space...!

What did you use for preprocessing?
