Trevor Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Decided to try the DMK on the Ring, 30x12 second exposures, C11 with 6.3 focal reducer, couple of wavelets done in Registax.Focus is a bit off but this is my first attempt.

barkis Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yep it is, but it doesn't spoil the result much. That is a biggie, and I much prefer to see this planetary in mono. But that is only my opinion.Central star is showing up very well too. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centroid Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'd say that for a 'first attempt', that's pretty damn good Trevor, well done!!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yup, what they said. Really good attempt for a first go, very impressive.With the DSO thing its really worth taking time over the focusing. I spend ages and still get it mostly wrong, but its very infuriating when you try to process out of focus stuff.Keep at it and you'll be getting some belters very soon.Kaptain Klevtsov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonifive Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I always struggle with focusing Trev, so you are not on your own. That is a great shot for the first attempt. I agree with Ron on the mono thing, sometimes we process our images too much, especially the colour ones.Great image Trev.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkis Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks for the encouraging comments.Tried to see how large this would go, (click to enlarge) Don't want to sound negative, because for a first attempt you have excelled yourself, but I could see that being a jaw breaker if only the focus had been nailed down. It seems horrible to say that, but I am really just thinking out loud Trevor. You are going to do it again, aren't you?. Please?. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yea I know about the focus, it was just a bit of fun really trying to see how large it would go, but the little blue box of the DMK shows some potential considering it’s classed as a lunar and planetary cam, well I think it is? hopefully somebody will know.Going to look into getting a 1:10 Crayford focuser that should help.
