First try with new cam taken 30/11/14 around 2.50am its been a while since I have attempted any imaging but 120mc is a real good step up from my trusty spc        quite pleased with first go but any pointers would be appreciated

thx

Nice !!!!!!!!

Really nice , well done ... Maybe a bit too purple but who really knows what colour it should be

Nice and sharp. Colour balance is a bit off, but that can easily be sorted out with curves. A Barlow could be used to increase the image scale, perhaps. The AS I120 works best around F/20 in my experience.

Good advice there from Michael, when processing in Registax, use the autobalance feature, the colour should come right.

Thx Knobby    yes I thought that but was not sure how to change it but will have a play with it just to see what does what

Thx Michael   have got a 2.5 powermate but was not sure if it would be to much so didn't try it but maybe if get good conditions might be worth a try then  is curves the histogram setting I had a look but worried about moving about it thx again

Thx Harvey  I will look at that not really gone into the other stuff registax can do yet

You could try the PowerMate, but F/25 may be a bit much. I tend to use my TeleXtender 2.0x. I use curves in the colour menu in GIMP, basically this allows changing the relative brightness of the R, G, and B channels, along with options similar to gamma correction. I do not know what the equivalent in Photoshop is called.

Thx for the advice all   just used the colour balance in registax only the auto setting though and it changed it a little is this going in the right direction for getting a more natural colour

thx
