Hi All,

Imaged on 2nd April 2009.

Scope: ED80

Camera: Modded Canon 350D, CLS filter.

Mount: EQ6

ISO: 800

Exposure: 140 X 30s subs unguided.

Processing: Stacked in DSS, Levels, Curves in PS, Noel's actions for light pollution removal, Colour Blotch Reduction, Layer masks for processing target and background separately.

Could not guide again as my serial to usb converter played up. Until I get one from astronomiser, its going to be unguided subs. Not to my satisfaction, but here goes.

Thanks,

Vincent.
