froggy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 At last a few clear night so I managed to grab some subs of NGC 6946. C8 mounted on an EQ6 and guided with a Borg 77mm. The camera was an Art 285.Luminance = 18 subs of 10 minutes eachRGB = 12 subs of 10 minutes each respectivelyProcessed with Maxim and CS3 and a touch of Noel's actions.Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Vince, have I got this right, did you give each channel 2 hours of combined exposure, along with the 3 hours of luminence? That's a great effort. were you at 2000mm focal length or using a reducer? There are a lot of sharpening artefacts in the image. I think if you stepped back a bit on the sharpening it would look more natural. Did you combine the colour in Maxim or PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Many thanks for your kind comments.The exposure was a total of 9 hours. 2 hours for each RGB and 3 hours for the luminance. The C8 was fitted with a 0.5 focal reducer and the image was aligned in Maxim and stacked in CS3.Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
