DaveS Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well the question is, have I got it?24 10 sec subs of which the best 16 were stacked in DSS, then cropped down without resizing.180mm Apo-Telyte-R at f/4, iso 1600, EOS 5D. My home-made tracker was playing silly whatevers with me hence the odd star images, but I think I can just make out the vestiges of a ring, esp when pixel peeping the DSS im[ATTACH]25988[/ATTACH]age.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catanonia Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sorry, but i would say no.At 180mm the ring would be very very smallAt 180mm you should not need tracking for 10s subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjunk Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I thought I could see it there though...the stars seem to match and half way between the brightest 2 stars there is something.Or am I imagining it?I say yes!Neil C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Ok, I'll try again tonight w/o tracking, see what happens. Remember this is a very small crop from the 12MP image.DaveEdit, Neil, that thing is what I'm talking about. Looking at the original DSS image shows it to have a totally different structure to the stars around it, basically 4-5 "blobs" in a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjunk Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Whats confusing me is the bright star on the upper left and the stars around it match, the M57 position matches and the bottom bright star matches but I can´tseem to match up the third bright star in the triangle in the pic.Still, my vote is for yes because it is a slightly different colour and shape to the stars in the image.NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkity-blonk Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would say that's it. If you compare it to a photo of the whole constellation it seems match up... assuming I'm looking at it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
