StargeezerTim Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Last night was very frustrating. Perfect forecasts from BBC and Clear Outside so I prepared but after just over an hour, clouds started interfering and they persisted all night till I gave up at 2.00am. Nevertheless, did get 8 x 10 min subs, iso 400, UHC filter, DSS and PS. Two subs were taken before Astro Dark and clouds affected the last couple, so I suppose the result is not too bad considering. No more forecast clear nights for a few nights now and when they they do arrive, Moon will be interfering with play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJenko Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Indeed. Wonderful crisp skies in between high cloud banks rolling past for me in Essex too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StargeezerTim Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Here is a heavy crop that has been boosted in processing. I must say, for a 72mm scope (with .8 reducer on top), the detail is not bad really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickGilliland Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The first version that is not pushed so much looks far better. Some more data will really improve the good start you have. Try to sort out the red distribution though as it is affecting background and stars a little even on the first version. Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy You are right, guilty of processing without due care and attention! another 3 points on the licence... Started again and did a more pleasing crop, i think I love focusing in on the tiny stars in the whitish part of the nebula. tiny pinpricks, each of which is a star with possible planets and life...
