Latest images from A.S.I.G.N

[ASIGN_Baz]

Well, I have been busy with new programs and equipment from a new ToUCam, to ASCOM and PHD. It's a lot to get right and a fair bit of messing around, not actually taking photo's.

Having done all this, I managed a few practice shots to get it all up and running and test it.

May I present my humble captures...

Hello there,

First off good images, you have plenty of stars, colour and nebulosity.

But could I make a few pointers......

I notice you have used a Canon 400D, I assume that this camera can expose for as long as you want on bulb. Therefore I would try exposing (especially with M42) for a little longer than 1 minute. I see you have stacked 12 x 1 from an ISO of 400. I personally would bump the exposure upto say 2/3 minutes (just to collect a little more detail). This way when you stack them the detail comes through and you get more 'depth' to the image.

Also try tweaking your focus a little, play around with it and see if you can get a slightly sharper image.

Good stuff though

Nice images Barry, my fav out of the bunch has to be the 2nd NGC 3372.

Look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Cheers

Thanks everyone! I tried a few different techniques, especially with exposure and ISO. My aim in M42 was to capture the core and Trapezium without burn-out.
