quick and dirty M3 - 130pds and modded Canon 450D

[Russe]

Here's a quick and dirty process of 23x600s and 5x180s:

Wish I could achieve 4 hours of imaging but it won't ever happen in Glasgow and through my window!

That is a stunner.

I'm not sure I'd spend so much time on this one, but I guess looking at that, it's worth it - beautiful star colours

I was nicely asleep during the capture and surprisingly the promised clouds came 5am not 2am... 3hrs extra exposures!!!

Bit more processing and should be a very nice M3.

Say,

have you changed from an astronomik LP filter to a Hutech?

Nice one Russe, not sure you need such long expsures on globs though? Shorter exposures might help with the red noise.

the long exposure was actually a test for my guiding - I'm sure on globs I could go well with 180s subs.

The colour isnt corrected yet.

Hi Russe

It certainly passed the guiding test! I was pleased to get some 600s subs too the other night .

You must be pleased with you guiding, nice round stars

No......always had the Hutech.

I was surprised about how well DSS dealt with slightly blurry subs. Absolutely stunning after reviewing all single subs, I thought "nay" and "never" - and DSS turned it into a nice round star image...

[Russe]

Would you guys say that the red halo around the star on the right shows a collimation problem?
