Vega Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm struggling to get long subs with my beast when my targets are so far from the pole. I can see a guiding setup on the horizon someday. Anyways I was pleased with what I got out of 30 sec subs. 37x30 secs in all. Took full advantage of a long clear period on the night before new moon (I'll never complain about weather timing again!... erm honest)250px Newt / EQ6 Synscan with PEC enabledCanon 400D, ISO 1600, 37x30 secsCaptured/processed in Images PlusTweaked in Photoshop and Paint Shop ProThanks for lookingMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 That is lovely, Matt - lots of nice dust lane detail, especially for such short subs. although the F5 aperture was handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centroid Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 A nice result Matt, and well 'framed' too.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks for the comments all, I wont say how much time I spent on framing it . Lets just say it involved plenty of 10 sec test snaps and fumbling about with the Synscan controller Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcol Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Very nice Matt! Ah- the composition technique where you get a stiff neck from checking the camera LCD...know it well.Makes Live View seem really attractive doesn't it?CheersMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew* Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Fantastic image - probably my next target. I looked at this through an 18" and Kielder and it looked almost exactly like that photo :shock: - stunning. Blinky will testify to that...Well captured Matt, and very well framed - worth taking the time to do that. i agree it's not easy...Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkis Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 For a non guided production, it looks pretty good to me Matt, so you can have great expectations when you do step into that arena. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
