M13 from few weeks back

[Kbramley]

I recently discovered that the DSS default luminance settings are not always ideal and after not being impressed with my 1st attempt on M13 I decided to re-do it and set all luminance sliders to the left. Made a huge difference and now doesnt blow out the core and helped keep the colour.

Canon 450D modded, MN190, CLS Clip filter, Autoguided with PHD

7x300s @ iso400

25 Flats, 25 darks and 50 bias

Centre crop

Levels and Curves in PS

Was first target to try out new auto-guiding set-up so tracking wasnt spot on, was still learning PHD settings, think it was over compensating initially.

Thaks for looking

Keith that's a beautiful image of a beautiful glob. Well taken and expertly processed.

Thanks for your kind comments, I keep coming back to M13 every time I upgrade the kit, this is by far the best yet but I think I will struggle to improve it now without getting into filters and ditching the DSLR for a dedicated CCD.
