Catanonia Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nice start, a bit of processing experience and you are on your way Jealous, M16 is outa my reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Nice capture. "only 5 minutes"? I'd be chuffed with this! It's more than enough to capture some nice nebulosity. Try something larger, e.g. the pleiades (M45)will try eos 450 on sw 300neq6 next timewould the quality be better??The resolution would be better (your field of view smaller due to the longer focal length). But, as you are unguided, your max sub length would go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond_Vision Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thats come out quite well for the short amount of time. I would try to get more light frames and also take a minimum of 10 darks preferably 16 or more.RegardsKevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudwatcher Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 ............ failed to bring out the dark eagle shape, damn this is hard:icon_scratch:I'll second that! Had a try on a much enlarged version but just seem to have ruined a perfectly good image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
