Thanks Graham! I actually did M8 last night, need to still work out a few coma corrector issues.

Thanks Rowland. I use Nebulosity for my preprocessing, does a very nice job.

That's one fine image
I have only targeted this one once and after 30 minutes had no where near as much blue with my 450D. Jealous

It's in the evaluation pipeline along with AstroArt.

Light Room does a great job for post processing cheaper then PS and easier.
I think Nebulosity is good all in one a cross of both BYE and LR but master of none.

[rcheshire (Rowland)]

Off topic, I know - I pretty much use StarTools for post processing these days and Pixinsight for preprocessing, but I need to learn these other tools as well.

That is a beautiful shot indeed. Great field and vibrant colors. Well done.

Great result Jo! Well done

[BruceG (Bruce)]

Awesome is your usual result Jo... this one gets 15 out of 10 due to only taking 3 minutes to get what most of us cant achieve in 30 !

Nice result Jo, noise is surprisingly low at ISO6400 and startools has done its usual at extracting all the data.
do you have a larger version in astrobin? the jpg compression has the stars a bit odd shaped.

Thanks a lot for your comments

Alistair, you can see a bigger version Here, stars aren't real pretty due to secondary misalignment.

Cheers

A lot of detail in the larger photo.

Now I'm curious what you would get if you actually took 3 hours of this. You will have to do it when your F5 is finished.

Beautiful capture, well done.

Well when i get my scope and have mastered that and my camera together i hope i can get an image as beautiful and clear. It's mesmorising and i can't stop looking at it........i should be working

Fantastic image!!
