First go IC1805

[Kirscovitch]

Didn't know what to expect for results but I think it turned out ok for a first time. Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop Elements 12

30x120sec lights

10 darks

20 bias

3200ISO

For first effort getting some of the data so well done.

Looking at image I think some flats will help - seems to be a lot more data hidden in there that flats may allow you to process.

Been a while since I used DSLR but moving down through ISO speeds and than upping time will help you pull down more detail.

Great start - its a rapid but very rewarding learning curve though.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully by next spring I will have a guider and be able to pull off some longer subs. 2 minutes is pushing it for me right now. I've been able to hit 3 minutes on one occasion. I will try flats next time out. The last couple times I've tried using them I had a better result without them. I know it's something I'm doing wrong so I will keep trying.
