Hi All,
After receiving my new edition to the equipment family (Thanks Theo for you endless support and Marc (IIS) for direction with extention tube/CC issues) I got the opportunity to give it a run on Thursday Night.
I'm using a Baader CC and luckily I had an extension tube in my kit that was close to perfect in bringing this camera to focus and avoiding coma in my images even though the camera sticks out from the focuser a bit.
The scope used is the Bintel f/4, 8" on an EQ6 and at the end of this focal train I have an Orion Light Polution Filter. I am using the EZY Cap software along with PHD etc.
Attached is my first light effort, even though the subject isn't framed properly....(So what I was excited!) I think it came up just nice for a single sub of 5 minutes at -10 using standard settings. No darks, bias or flats as I am just on the testing stage.
My problems as you can see, colours and this grid thing when you zoom in.
This image in particular I put through Deep Sky Stacker.
How do you balance this out?
This is a new step for me and a new direction and a couple of pointers will not go astray.
Paul
