Slowly getting around to processing. Just moved house so it has taken time.

I understand not having time to do your hobby all too well. Nice image, looks like you are pushing your gear. Good detail given the focal length you are running at. Well done.

Good on you Josh. A great image using your hardware and you are making great headway in processing. Keep it up and Id like to see your other images.

yeah...i need to make a lightbox for flats...clean the camera (or get a nice ccd camera) and learn more about processing...and then keep doing it.

[Nortilus (Josh)]

i would love to have the $$$ to buy a good CCD...im liking the atik cameras...the 314L+ OSC is to my liking...

Good to see some more results from Astrofest, Josh!

Pretty good with a DSLR. Not an easy feat at that FL. Litlle out of focus. but very nice colors all the same.
You can get an EL sheet for flats. That will work out well. A CCD will make your life simpler for long exposures too. Less noise to contend with.

Great capture Josh.

Good luck.
