Hey guys and gals..
These two images were taken back in mid october, however due to my processing knowledge I just couldnt get an image I was happy with out of them... Now after months of clouds, and millions of repro's and reading on processing techniques.. Here they are.. Still, nothing fantastic, but data that I've not posted before is better than another repro of M42 data (that im currently working on!!
LOL!)
Here we have:
NGC2516 - an Open Cluster in Carina.
5x300sec. QHY8 + M102
NGC2070 - The Tarantula Nebula (unfortunately I had to compress this to 60% quality to get it to forum size..)
6x300sec. QHY8 + M102
Both images were taken on the first night that I got guiding working properly.. In all honesty I should have gone for 10 minute subs...
Both targets were moderately low to the horizon in the south/south east, where most of my light pollution comes from. Processing was pretty extensive to remove some horrible gradients, but that said, I am happy to post these two images now..
Cheers.
Alex.
