alacant Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone <self-pity> Lock-down day thirty -I've-lost-count- something with only 3 clear nights since it started. Desperate times in many ways. </self-pity> I looked out at 04:00 and saw a star. As the 6" f8 already had the camera+oag attached, I put it on the mount and managed a whopping two frames before the next weather front rolled in. Six minutes in all. Couldn't get anywhere with GIMP so took the easy way out and StarTools managed to rescue something from nothing. I even think the colour is somewhere close. Thanks for looking and stay safe. 700d on nt150l @ ISO800 Edited April 18, 2020 by alacant 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudMagnet Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Nice to see, the ring nebula was the first DSO I shot so one of my favorite. I always think to colour is tricky for this but good job bringing out the white dwarf and outer layers in such a short timeframe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's tough :( I shan't comment on what it's been like here... 14 minutes ago, alacant said: I don't think I'm allowed to say 'magnification' Just go for "image scale" :) James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
