just messing

[Stu Wilson]

Got my new focuser for Xmas but after fitting it realised I need an adapter to get the DSLR onboard.

Anyway for the 1st time ever in clear skies I piggy backed the dslr to see what I could achieve and here goes....... both are 120s x 10 subs stacked in dss slight messing in psp

comments welcome.

clear skies :-)

"Just messing" you say? 

If I could "mess" like that, I'd call myself an astrophotographer. Nicely done; looking forward to messing my way to an image of M31 that nice.

Nice images Stu. Might I suggest adding some Flat frames into the mix to help remove the few dark anomolies you have in there?

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Steve

Tried adding some and got this result. I think a lot of the marks are dirt on the lens. I normally attach straight to the focuser.

If it's marks on the lens that you want to fix, then I think it's flats that you should be adding into the mix. Darks will help reduce thermal noise/hot pixels, but flats will correct for dust bunnies, grubby spots and vignetting.

 

I know the theory.....just seem to be struggling to put it all into practice!

I'd like to mess like that, good images.
