  1. Thank you. Just brought the rig back indoors after 40x 120 min Orion Nebula. Decided to try to get a better result than last time when I made loads of errors like not makign sure the camera battery was fully charged! LOL Now for the stacking and processing! Good luck with WHN
  2. Cool, I saw them nightly (and morningly) when I was in Iceland. Very hypnotic
  3. Hi. It's clear tonight where I am and should be for the next few hours. I was wondering what you might advise as a nice target for someone with a star adventurer and DSLR with 200mm lens? A while ago I was able to get a half decent image of Orion Nebula, it could be greatly improved on and it's visible tonight so that's one option. Another option is the 7 Sisters, also really obvious in the sky tonight, but not that interesting from an aesthetic perspective perhaps. I'd love to have a go at Andromeda but even with sky map and stellarium I can't seem to spot it. Any other nice photogenic targets I could shoot for tonight? Just finished my darks so I'm ready to go
  4. Hi. I am trying to take some flats indoors with my Nikon DSLR, white t-shirt stretched tight over top of lens, pointed point blank range at an artists light panel which has 3 different light brightnesses and they all produce pretty much the same image. My settings are the same as my lights (except for shutter time which for my flats I have at auto). ISO 1600 AWB on Shooting mode = A Img format = RAW (sRGB) F 200mm @ f 5.6 Problem is, most flats I have seen online are a pinkish colour (not grey) and the histogram (I have been told) should be abouit 1/3 from the left (mine are about 1/2 way). Deep Sky Stacker says that "The overall tint of your flat frames is not really important because DeepSkyStacker is processing each channel separately and is applying the flat frames to each channel accordingly." I assume this is also the case for Sequator? Can anyone advise please? Many thanks in advance.
