I promise my next image will not be M51 but some obscure object that is not seen very often.

Canon 350D 12X300 second subs 800ISO

250PX on EQ6 AutoGuided with Equinox ED80 and OpticStar PL-130M.

Processed with PhotoShop, stacked with DSS.

Nice one Roy. You have a bit of amp glow at the top left there. (I found out what it was yesterday........ ) I get the same with my Minolta.

Thanks Thing,

Not actually amp glow mate, this is the remains of the Vignetting in the image (my flats fell flat on there ass) so I have cropped a considerable portion of the image.

The dark frames did do a good job of removing the amp glow which on my Canon 350D appears in the bottom right corner of the image.

Ah, strange, it's always top left for me.

Another great image taken with a Canon, now where's my barclaycard?

Great stuff Roy, It is a very nice result, and I agree with M2, the Canons are the Kings for imaging. I wish I had waited before buying my Olympus E-500.

I like it, but it doesn't have capabilities of the Canon.

Ron.

Good image Roy, lots of nice faint stuff showing through
