[ben72]

hi to all, my first post and first pic. the pinwheel galaxy.

still getting a little vignneting,and ive added some blue to highlight.i used to work in the print,so i had a heads up on image retouching.

was taken on a skywatcher 200p,eq5 duel drive,canon 1100d(unmoddified),50x2min.

have to say im very pleased

great first pic that lovely round stars and nice focus, its subjective but I would be tempted to crop the right side of the image to centre the object plus it would increase the apparent size a bit. Congrats and keep up the good work:D

thanks guys.

in hindsight, yes maybe i should have.i think the offset gives the pic a bit of depth.

by the way i have just realised ive posted this in the wrong section.doug!!
