nightvision Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 All the more amazing that it was created via a £240 scope!I can see the 150PDS selling like hot cakes (if it isn't already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thank you all for the kind comments!I have a newly processed version that has Rob (Uranium235)'s data combined in. I added this to the core, as it provided extra detail and colour, particularly after a little sharpening, which was possible due to the lower noise in the brighter areas. I also have fixed a few dark halos from my inept use of a star layer and pushed the background even further. Too far? would be interested in opinions!Rob is working on a CCD luminance mosaic, so eventually we'll be combining that in too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMc Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thank you all!It was near a village called Ladock. I'm not saying conditions were perfect (the transparency wasn't great the night I was imaging this) but it was very dark indeed - I couldn't detect any orange glow at all with my eyes!I used to live in Ladock, half way between St Austell and Turo - unbelievable dark skies as I remember. So jealous - I have only just got the same equipment and can only dream of getting the results you have!Nice one and an inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I used to live in Ladock, half way between St Austell and Turo - unbelievable dark skies as I remember.It was lovely and dark! Tempted to move back? I know it makes me want to move Here's a stack of some images taken from the back of the cottage. I'm not very good at widefields but hopefully it gives some idea of the skies (ignoring the clouds - there are so bright due to my poor processing): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
