M3 - first DSO for a long time

[MartinB]

Still feeling fired up from SGL 9 I managed to get out last night and get 10 by five min subs in RG and B.  I decided I would combine the RGB to make a lumininence but it didn't really help so this is plain RGB.

Scope MN190

Camera QSI532wsg

Filters Baader

Captured, calibrated and combined with maxim.  Deconvolution in CCDStack and finished in PS (after lots of trial and error)

Great shot. Loving the colours

Very nice M3, just look at all those stars.

[MartinB]

Thanks guys.  Looking at it this morning I think there is too much magenta in there.  Another tweak then!

[Martin-Devon]

That's come out really well, colourful and detailed. I've also found that adding Lum to RGB tends to wash-out the colour so often now I omit or only add a small % of Lum.

Given the colour a tweak.  Probably gone from bad to worse!

I do like seeing these globular cluster images.

I really like this one Martin, lovely and crisp.

Roll on the great September Sagittarius globular hunts!

Second is more appealing - less magenta

Very nice indeed, Martin... and some lovely star colour - You must be chuffed with that  .  (I'm hoping to blow the dust off my MN190 shortly - It's been over a year since it last saw light of day... or dark of night!).
