whirlpool attempt

[brrttpaul]

After having a crack at the moon I thought why not give it a go, so took about 30 subs and 5 darks, ISO 1250, 2 min subs. Put it through DSS and had 11 frames for 20 mins. Wernt even sure if anything would come out as I couldnt see anything on liveview. Well  I wernt expecting that for a first attempt, I did tweak it in lightroom and prob went to far with it but got to say I am chuffed to bits with it

Very nice indeed! Only a tiny bit of star trailing. I assume unguided? That's a nice processing job, just pull back the blue a little. If you can get more subs on another night, add them to these subs and you'll reduce the noise. Just try to get the new set as lined up as poss with these ones.

When you're up-to-speed, try flats as they'll remove the gradient.

Onward and upward!

I have been bouncing all day over it TBH, thought I went a bit overboard with the blue but can pull it back NP. Thanks for the help earlier everyone
