russ Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi James,That looks great for only 7 x 14secs. Imagine how it will look with 4x that many images. Nice focus too.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi James, great image matey. Going to add that to my list as well seeing you can get something that good with only 7 x 14 seconds.As Russ said get 30 frames like tha an you'll have a fantastic image on your hands... Was that taken with your new SC1.5?Have you tried using the Fringe Killer you bought the other week to reduce the blue glow around the brighter stars?RegardsAnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi Ant,RussCheers guy's looking at it now it's not a bad effort .As you both rightly say a few more images to stack and i would get something decent out of it..The coolpix 4500 was used and no fringe killer to be honest there wasnt a great deal of effort put into the night as i was feeling ill at the tme(still am). I will be using the fringe killer in the future though as the coolpix cameras tend to create there own CA..James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMac Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 James, I agree with Russ & Ant - a very fine image of 7X14 secs. Well done.How did M27 look at the eyepiece compared to your expectations for it? Going to change your vote in the 'Dumbell Vs Ring' thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Thanks, M27 in the eyepiece was wonderfull after i spent half n hour's time observing it and taking in the details. My 18mm ep showed it the best and i suspect the 10mmep a good night would be even better!. As for changing my vote ask me in a couple of months time James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMac Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I'm not surprised that you spent soooooooo long looking at it James. M27 is a real showpiece nebula & reveals its dumbell shape easily in almost any scope. A real gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 It really is quite strikeing the amount of detail that you can see at the eyepiece i will certainly be spending more time on this beauty soon esp when i am in the right frame of mind..Come on clouds bog off! :pottytrain4: James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMac Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Best rest up tonight James after your expensive trip to the dentist! Remember - M27 ain't going anywhere - leastways not in your lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
