OXO Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Last night was one of the clearest nights in a while so after waiting till 1.00am for the clouds to fly off i setup the ST102 thinking it wouldnt last but it did.Here's M13 and M57 taken at prime focus of the St102 with a CANON 300d, 20x20secs stacked.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaelicstorm7 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lovely M57 James reminds me of the images I took last year of that with my ST80, great memories, my first real DSO images, hope you don't mind couldn't resist having a play in photoshop with yours.CheersAlanPS what asa/iso were these taken at ?

OXO Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Alan,I used ISO 800 for these images i normally use 1600 but i wanted to try 800 for a change this helped in processing the LP out of the images greatly, noise wise there wasnt much differance TBH which is good in a way.ST80 eh i wouldnt mind one of those so small but a great performer.Don't mind you playing with the image/images at all Alan hehe i do it all the time as you may of noticed :laugh:. Good job on the processing i'll save that to my H/D.ThanksJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albireo380 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Really nice iamages James. Crisp and clean. Interesting that Iso 1600 didn't add much noise over Iso 800. I must try Iso 1600 next time.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
