Ambermile Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well, for a couple of hours anyway. I had been looking forward to playing with the VC200L but that has been collared by SC for testing purposes so I decided to bolt the C5 on the EQ6 (guided with the SV80/9D) and see what it could do. Was intending M101 really so had to put the 6.3 reducer in there as well. So, these with the ART-285, all 3 min 2x2 subs messed in Registax 3M51, 10 subs.M63, 4 subs.M101, 8 subs. This was the first of the evening and there was still ice on the 285 because I had run the camera an hour before and then turned it off again.

Ambermile Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks for all the nice comments people. It was pleasant just to get out there and play with all the toys again, some of which I'd forgotten I even had - let alone how to use :oops:Looking good for Kelling apparently and this was really a shake-down night to get the kit sorted for that. Turned out quite well in the end... cloudy tonight again though Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Sorry, here's my fiddle. In getting rid of the halos I've lost the lovely trailing arms Quite a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELESCOPE Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 takes time Martin , i use the lasso, and do sections at a time, that way you can deal with certain parts without loosing the main detail in the image , Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one for practice because the detail is so delicate.Thanks for the images Arthur :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambermile Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 You know, it's rather flattering to see other people playing with your pics :oops:ArthurPS - I can post the uncompressed bitmaps on Ambermile if anyone'sinterested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I would be interested in the unprocessed images. If only to see how my unprocessed images compare. That way i would know if it's the imaging or the processing that I need to work on the most. (I suspect that it will be both).Captain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 You know, it's rather flattering to see other people playing with your pics :oops:Sorry Arthur, I would be a bit brassed off if someone had messed up my image (didn't like those halos though ). Would love to play with your unprocessed images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunator Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 ArthurGlad you got out. Lovely pics. Maybe several guys can process your raw images and outline the process used. Then post them on the fprum and people could see how different approaches work. CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
