darks n flats, its a miracle!

[blink138 (Pat)]

just a thanks to some of our members in relation to my m83 striations thread
well last night i imaged m104 and got 28 subs, finished as the moon came up and then shot my darks
got up early(ish) this morning and shot the flats
the difference to my image was nothing short of astounding
i dont think my focus was 100% for this one but i had no dark corners and equal illumination across the finished pic and i used just about every piece of advice in the one night ha ha!

180@800
28 subs, 30 darks and 30 flats

No I didn't, Pat. Just travelling over the bridges in a taxi on the way from the airport. If I get time and there is still daylight, I will head down to the park.
