M64 from SGL5

[daz]

A first draft stack of M64 from Lucksall. It's been so long since I took an image, this is just levels and curves!!

Imaged with SXVF-H9 through an ED100, guided with an ED80 and Lodestar, all on an EQ6

Bias, Dark and Flats taken, 10x300(L) + 5x300(RGB)

/off to read notes from imaging day..../

For a 'draft stack' you've got to be pleased with the result!

Congratulations...

Yery nice mate , Great start ! Focus looks spot on but I assume that was because Minidaz was helping

[Paxo]

Looking good Daz, thought this one was going to be good when I saw the first sub come in.

lol!! Yes mate!! "back a bit. No, the other way. Too far. Other way. No! The OTHER way!!..... Pass me a beer and we'll start again!!"

Still have to add in an hour of 10 minute subs and process properly, so looking forward to what can be pulled out!

Tell you how long it's been - I couldn't work out why Maxim would produce a blank image when registering the subs (I was worried I had not done the calibration data properly) until I realised I was trying to stack all of the colour and luminence at the same time!! No wonder it was confused..........

Sitting where I was sitting, it was very funny to watch

I know what you mean about being such a long time and forgetting things!!! I was just glad I remembered which end to attach the camera too

Lots of detail in that, you will have fun pulling that out. Looking forward to seeing it as you add more data.
