M51 from last night

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Had a go at it with the Makski (Tal 200K) but the seeing was poor so I did it binned. It appears to have come out OK ish but the night wasn't as long as it should have been as I'd work this morning.

Atik 16HR binned 2X, 25 lights at 250 seconds, no darks or flats CLS filter. Guided using an ST80 and Toucam talking to K3CCD Tools.

EQ6 mount.

Processed in Maxim, PhotoshopCS2.

Belting detail KK despite the poor seeing. A few halos from the sharpening

[RobH]

Great detail and depth KK

To get rid of your sharpening halos, immediately after youve sharpened....before you do anything else at all, go to....

'EDIT/FADE/FADE SHARPEN

You will get a box with a drop down menu and you fade sharpen to 'LIGHTEN' then play with the percentage.

This will remove the halos.

Cheers
