don't crop resize the image size in PS or whatever you use

[Sam Baker]

I've had to crop the m51 image to make it upload able and it's turning out nothing like what it looks like on the laptop..... Very odd

Why are all ur posts doubled @ Sam baker ? Very odd indeed

[hazegood]

do you use photoshop? if so use the save for the web option, that reduces the filesize

[Sam Baker]

Yeah I use photoshop and I'll try that thanks. I have no idea why my posts are doubled

That image is fabulous Sam! You should be well pleased with yourself

[Sam Baker]

Thanks alot Kieren! I am far too pleased, I've got the need to get out tonight and figure this guiding out, but I'm a wimp and can't find anyone to join

[Sam Baker]

Thanks alot Vicky!

Looks great Sam... Well done buddy.

The reason the file size is massive is because of the stacking! More detail means bigger files

[Sam Baker]

Cheers Paul, I really think I've managed to leap past the boundary which I was getting stuck at before, fingers crossed i can reach the sky from here!

Has anyone ventured out tonight. It does look good but to be honest I'm stopping in with a beer

[astrotyke]

Not me, had a really busy day at work today, there was cold beer in the fridge and the beer won vs going outside tonight, think im getting old lol

The forecast for the weekend doesnt look too good at the moment, low presure is moving in

[mapstar]

Tonight looks like the best night this year although I've not looked though a scope so it could be terrible viewing?

I've not really seen any forecasts for the weekend as yet.

[astrotyke]

might be some lyrid meteors around tonight too, the peaks tomorrow

Well im still up so may grab the scope and take it outside for a bit

Had half an hour with the camera, and managed this quick one of Venus and The Moon before they dropped too low

Hope the cloud & rain gods are kind to us this weekend, but we will have steaks and beer, so I'm sure we'll do just fine!

[Sam Baker]

Had a good night with soupy and the clear skies! M97 and m101 in the bag, fingers crossed I'll have the images through by tomorrow
