Dark Horizon Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 NGC 891 Imaged last night under a Moon of 70%. No filteration used. 127mm triplet, Atik 428Ex and a AZEQ6 mount that still needs adjustment in PA... Total exposure is 92 minutes 7 x 10min subs 2 x 5min subs 3 x 4min subs 20 x 10min Darks 65 x Offsets. No Flats.... light box project underway! :) Well i'm happy enough with the result. I've hardly touched it post stacking. Hope you like.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLX200 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like good data to me Another faint fuzzy on the LH side too. A bit of de-convolution or un-sharp masking with the stars masked out will get you more detail I think.. ChrisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des anderson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Lovely detail, ticks all the boxes for me. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horizon Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Cheers guys! Chris, I really need to get my hands on a few more up-to-date programs and read about de-convolution..... i must confess to being a bit ignorant on such things. Watch this space.... excuse the pun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickGilliland Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Great start - nice detail coming through - are the stars trailing a little though ? Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horizon Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Cheers Neil Yeah they are Paddy, still gotta address some alignment issues... Just happy to be back imaging after a big chunk of time where i wasn't able to. I've so much to learn again that a few errors in alignment are low in my list of priorities. I've gotta get comfortable with new software, learn processes I didn't even know about, build gadgets to help capture flats... and the list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickGilliland Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Nice work, a little more processing will realise some of the data hidden in the galaxy. Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
