spanky Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Had an excellent night on Wednesday and managed to capture 5 hours and 10 mins on M101Had fun processing this one. It's the first time I've used a star layer properly and I think it's really helped. So here it is, along with several faint fuzzies!62 x 300 secs25 x darks30 x flats - I'm loving the light panel, much better than aiming at the kitchen window with the blind down lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollypenrice Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yes, a good widefield. The background sky is quite 'busy' but if you have Photoshop you could try selecting it (using colour select) and then going into Image - Adjustments - Match Colour. In there you can reduce the colour intensity and then check the neutralize box. It might work.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morimarty Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi SpankyI've just been admiring your image of M101, And I dont know if your aware but upon a closer inspection you have clearly picked up the supernova PTF11KLY which was discovered last august. It is the blue star at the 3 oclock position of your image. very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
