9 shot manual stack in PS7 of the Ring Nebula - M57 - in Lyre. Subs were limited to 30" due to dec drifting badly even with guiding so ISO had to be turned up to max - 6400 Imaging: C8 XLT, CG-5 GT, Revelation Superfocus 2" R&P focuser, Canon 1100D (unmodified), 1.25" UHC filter. Guiding: Travelscope 70, Orion StarShoot AutoGuider, PHD. (something not working properly here as dec drifting very badly!)© 2013 Bryan Harrison

This is my first play with Photoshops 'Layer' command. An original single frame capture was copied to a new layer above my stacked and manipulated image. I then used the history eraser tool to remove the area around the trapezium to show the adjusted layer below but kept the original brightness of the trapezium stars from the single frame layer - if that makes sense?!? That way I can show more of the nebulasity but have kept the trapezium stars from burning out.© 2013 Bryan Harrison

Well the S177 web site is now fully up and running. I can post to the course forum and have done so and I've printed off the course calender and study guide (at work :o). Didn't go on last night as I was too busy playing with my new SPC900NC web cam. :D Need to get down to some serious study now before the course starts, as I am supposed to be dedicating 10 hours a week to the course. Typical as this weekend actually looks like it is going to be dry! :rolleyes:

Hi Isabelle, It all seems to be sorted now - thank goodness! Just early teething troubles.

Hi Isabelle, It's really frustrating here. If we do get clear skies in the afternoon/early evening, it's clouded over by the time it is starting to get dark. :mad: Hope you are having more luck with the course web site than I am. Lots of things seem to be not working! Bryan -
Well, the course web site went live today...sort of! :( Lots of error messages and unfound pages when I tried to log on this morning. Finally got onto the course web site this afternoon for a quick look. Not much there just a basic outline and study calendars for the two possible finish times. You can either complete the course by 31 July or by 25 October. You don't have to stick to the 31 July timetable if you can't complete the course by then due to time restraints but you do have to submit your test paper by the 25 October deadline or you get ungraded and have to sign onto the next course (and pay again). Had a quick look on the forum and read a couple of posts, went to reply and found that there was no 'reply to post' button on the page! :confused: There also doesn't seem to be anywhere where I can start a thread. So it looks like I can't contribute to the course forums at the moment. Message duly sent off to the study advisers for the course. Not a good start so far. My last module was a lot smoother than this one.

Just reading through the course book in bed of a night - for as long as I can stay awake. :rolleyes: Also working my way through the OUs 'Maths Ebook' which is really helpful (and available to anyone). Getting really fed up with these cloudy nights as my interest is being really ignited, but I can't go out and view anything! :mad: The course module website will open on 8 May and the course will start on 12 May. So I'm trying to get ahead in the book before the course starts. Only half way through chapter two though! Two other members of SGL - 'ronnietucker' and 'Marshall1234' - are doing the course too so that could prove advantageous for all of us. No cheating you understand; just the exchange of ideas and experiences, just like at a physical university. :) This is the first time this course has been run so it will be interesting to see how it goes. 'ronnietucker' has already shown me how to use my scientific calculator as my calculations were coming out one too many places to the left, which wasn't a good start! :rolleyes: Technology never was my strong point!
