A fine image Rog, of the often overlooked member of the triplet.

Cheers

Well you got something done Rog. That has to be a good thing.

It looks good enough to me mate. You are ticking over, but full throttle aint far off.

Ron.

[Beyond_Vision]

You are being too hard on yourself, it looks fine to me

Great result extensions have come out well, you must agree galaxies are way better than nebula now? JohnH.

[CELESCOPE]

Thanks guys , boy am i tired lol , but i just cant get the backdrop looking how i want it , always using this CLS does this , not sure why ,any help i would love to sort this out after all 3 hours should bring up a better image than this

Rog:)

[MrEd]

This is one of the few times i have seen this imaged

by itself.

Lovely mono work and processing Rog.

Oh C'mon Rog that a cracker ... but your a perfectionist

Nice to see your out imaging again...

Billy...

Like that one a lot! The background looks fine on my moniter, very nice.

I gave this one a go in last week's murk, it was a total disaster!

Cheers,

Rich.

Great image Roger, nice to see a break in the clouds and you getting a chance to get some imaging in. Fantastic result, you are too hard on yourself.

Great result Rog.......start of a mosaic?

Galaxy seasion is well under way and I have yet to bag one.

Mike.

[steppenwolf]

Some good dust detail in there Rog - you should be pleased with that.

[Sam]

Rog that's brilliant!

[CELESCOPE]

I really must be getting fussy then , lol oh well if you guys say its ok ,then i,m on my way ,

[Psychobilly]

What setup are you using at the moment Rog?

Billy...

[CELESCOPE]

Done another process on this , for improvement i used levels and with the dropper i used the lowest black point and set it to that , this smoothed the backdrop nicely,then just bought the curves up a slight bit, feel happier with this now and could enlarge the image more.

Billy for this i used the Equinox 120 at Prime, guided with the Equinox 80, tighter guiding this time my QHY5 was having trouble picking up guide stars so i used the small Atik nose piece and the 5x reducer , lovely wide field ,brighter stars and more of them, guiding seemed a whole lot better.

Rog:)

[barkis]

There seems to be a lot more fainter dusty stuff at the extremities of the galaxy now Rog. Unless my monitor is playing tricks on me.

Ron.

[CELESCOPE]

LOL there is Ron , its a much flatter image now ,well on my monitor anyway, well pleasd and its in my album now

Cheers

Rog

[Tim]

Looks like just the tonic you needed Rog!

[MartinB]

Lovely capture Rog, you see - you can do galaxies!!

[robindurant]

Now that IS good

Robin

[Whippy]

Good stuff as always Rog, you know you need to do a triplet mosaic now ...

I saw you mentioned using a CLS, have you got an IDAS to compare it to? If you haven't, I'm thinking you might find the IDAS might work better from your location.

Tony..

[CELESCOPE]

i have the IDAS Tony when i tried it i had weird things happen like ahuge halo lol Bern told me it dont work with Mono to well , but i see u using it so it must work ???

Rog

[Whippy]

Indeed Rog, I don't have any problems with it at all with my two Zenithstars although I use in conjunction with an IR cut as I'm not sure if my version of it has IR cut built in or not. Perhaps that might be cause of your halos? I've only used a CLS visually and found it cuts out lots more light than the IDAS and Neodymium from my garden.
