M57 whilst test driving my new obs

[Parallax]

Whilst I was giving the new obs a test run last night, to iron out any issues, I couldn't resist a quick go at M57. I've yet to align the mount properly so I was quite pleased with the result.

~20 x 30s subs, SPC900, Explorer 200, Registax4.

Not a bad capture Steve, not bad at all....

I didnt think the SPC900NC would be capable of producing a image like that!

Nice work.

Also I recently found a photoshop plugin from Russell Croman which works wonders on gradients.
