Sadr region - 25/09/10

[gary1968]

Sadr region in Cygnus. Taken with my Orion F4 8" Newt, unmodded 1000d & CLS clip. Guided with HEQ5 Pro, ZS66, Meade DSI Pro & PHD.

This is the 1st time I have attempted this area of the sky and was not sure how much would be visible considering the camera aint modded.

I have attached 2 versions as I am not sure which I like best...

Anyhoo, C&C welcome as usual folks.....

I like the 2nd one the best Gaz, it's a cracking result, especially considering it is not even modded!

[Starflyer]

Cracking result Gary, I prefer the first, or maybe somewhere in between the two

[gary1968]

Thanks Ian, haveing looked again tonight at these I tend to agree with you mate, the first one with the black a bit blacker me thinks.......

Did you get the goodies for the scope you were after?

Gaz

Cracking result Gary, how about a 3rd version something in between the two colours ...

Nice going..

Nah, it's not going to come together in time mate so I'm just bringing the two fracs to Kielder I could bodge an old focuser onto it but I'd rather not drill any more holes in it and have decided to wait.

If I get my act together over the next couple of nights the MkII camera cooler should be ready though

On the plus side there'll be loads more room in the car for beer.

See you there,

Ian

[gary1968]

Thanks for the kind words folks......

Shame about the newt Ian, but it will be better to wait and get it right I think.

See ya at Kielder....

Cracking images Gaz, cant believe they are with an unmodded camera. With that much red pouring through who needs a modded one?

[gary1968]

Thanks Sly... and yeah, I agree it does pile the red through now. What do you mean now I hear you say, Blinky taught me about 'custom white balance'.

The camera showed very little red due to the CLS clip filter I use, images had next to no red showing up even in the histogram. So, thanks again Craig.....

Gaz

[Starflyer]

Get that filter ripped out Gaz, you know it makes sense

[gary1968]

If the filter is to come Ian I will be getting in touch with Andy Ellis, I aint ballsy enough to go rippin me camera apart. And besides, I have bought some lenses for it now so will be using it for everyday photography as well. I might however try to pick up a modded 1000d....... or summit
