Re-Edit .......Sombrero M104 Test Image

[qcdougn]

Since it was my first night out with the scope. I did several test to check my GoTo's and tracking in the alt-az position. I wasn't going for Deep, deep imaging. I'm reasonablly satisfied with this basic image of The Sombrero. I haven't done much to process it for more detail. So, anyone wanting a play...please do what you like.

It's good to be back outside....

Hi Doug, great image, not one i've tried before. But you have captured it really nicely.

Couldn't resist having a play. Loads of info in that image but the JPG gives up before the data can be extracted. It looked okay on my crummy monitor at work.

Hi Doug , i think your re-edit was a little to much data taken out ,well on my monitor anyway , but Rus seems to have got it just right leaving that outer glow nicely , nice edit Rus ,
