feilimb Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi Stu well done on the image it looks great. Can I ask did you have any filters in the Canon DSLR or whether the camera itself was modified for astrophotography? The reason I ask is last night I had my first attempt at the horsehead myself - I shot a single 5 minute light frame at ISO800 (on my Canon 450D). I know obviously I would need more than one light frame, but I figured a noisy horsehead should be visible in a single frame, however when I opened it in PixInight and stretched the image there was no sign whatsoever of the nebula. I started wondering if my exposure was too short at 5 minutes or why I couldn't see anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Wilson Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 The Horsehead didn' appear in my image until stretched, curves, noise reduction, high filter pass etc etc etc. Like I say I was pleased at the outcome. Also no my 650D is standard and no filters. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
