Taken last night. Conditions were very breezy and I had to dump some frames. In total 18 x 4 min subs through a 1000D . Guided with a modded 50mm finder and PHD guiding. Regards , Trevor

Nice image Trevor and thanks for posting it, I now know how big its gonna look in my own 80ed and canon 1000D

Real good flat field as well.

Very nice trevor, very nice indeed.. you have captured loads of detail in there, although still a compressed JPEG its got lots of promiss, the original TIFF must be a cracker..

No trailing, great guiding etc..

I spent 5 minutes on your image I hope you don't feel offended.

Very good image, well done

Nice one Trevor. What ISO setting did you use, any light pollution in your area?

[Trevor N]

Thanks for the comments and to Guy for improving the image. Does anyone know of a PS method to get a flatfield ? There is noticeable vignetting but I struggle to know how to get shot of it.

Mount was an HEQ 5 and the subs were 4 mins at 1600 ISO. Fairly good in respect of light pollution here but like a lemon I forgot to fit the LP filter .Regards , Trevor

I normally shoot at ISO 800. I don't think that the LP is too bad where i am so will definately give 1600 a go now. Can't manage 4 mins yet though. Guidescope arrived from FLO today but no guidecam as yet

Keep up the good work.

Lovely image of a difficult target.

It is a nice clean image, very nice.

As soon as I saw it I, too, thought 'PixInsight DBE.' Photoshop does have a lens correction filter but I'm afraid I have no idea how to use it. However, you could get Russell Croman's Gradient Xterminator plug-in and that should sort it out. If you do that, have a good look at the tutorial on how to apply it only to background sky.
