Best shot so far (NGC7000)

[buikimaging]

Hello Stargazers!

Today, against all odds, there was still some clear skies among the clouds.

Put up the gear as quickly as I could, taking time to carefully polar allign and get guiding up and running, took aim at NGC7000 and shot away.

Decided to aim for 8 minute subs this time as i didnt find 5 sufficient last time.

Took 5 lights before the batteries almost went dead and shot 4 darks before packing up again.

After light processing in DSS this image came out.

I certainly find this as one of the best shots i ever took.

Gave me goosebumps when I saw the detail coming from a DSLR.

So here is my best version (so far) of NGC7000 with the Cygnus wall.

Intergration time;

lights - 40m with CLS-CCD

darks - 4

bias - 20

NO flats.

Clear Skies to you all!

Nice to see someone is getting some images at the moment.

well done indeed

Thanks both!

Tried my hand at adding another 10 minute shot i took just after and reprocessing it a bit better.

There is a lot more detail visible in this one and the colors look better to my liking

curious to think what others find of my processing

Yes this is definitely an improvement in my opinion. Not just the colours but the image looks much cleaner.
