The lack of clouds surprised me last night as the forecast was for some cloud at dusk followed by more cloud and then rain after 9PM. Didn't happen.

200mm f/5 Skywatcher Newt. with SC3, 0.5X FR and CLS filter unguided.

Can you mend this as well please Caz?

[CELESCOPE]

Not cracked 'em all Rog., only the globs and they're still only passable. Still struggling a bit with the faint jobbies as I'm impatient.

Phil, I had the gain way up to 80% for the M33 with 55 second subs but for the glob I had shorter subs, 20 seconds and the gain at 50%.

Another brilliant capture of a cluster CC, its on a par with your M15, wonderful stuff! 8)

I've had a play, not overly impressed with how its turned out, but I did my best..

Thanks Caz. What is it that you do when you wave your magic wand?

Oooh blimey, I'm no expert CC, I just play!! Saying that, on this one, I used 'unsharp mask', then I mess around with exposure, depending on the image I sometimes use 'shadow and highlight' wonderful tool. If theres a slight blur on the image, as there was on this slightly, I used 'Smart Sharpen', basically, it removes motion and lens blur. Obviously you don't want to tweak too much, you will lose some detail, or the other scale, to false... I guess at the end of the day, its about knowing what looks right to you...

Play around with editting software, and tweak away!!

HTH.. :?

Caz

I do. I fiddle and fiddle until the thing has all been destroyed, then start again. And again.

BTW I find the Smart Sharpen easier to use than Unsharp Mask, but then that's because its less involved.

Thanks

Can I play

[ZOG]

Nice one CC, you just keep going from strength to strength.

[SteelRat]

Really nice, that one CC. Love globs and you've caught some beauties. Good edits too folks 8)

[Martin 2]

Yes, I think Globs are stunning especially when shown in a pic as good as this.

Thanks guys and Gals, please feel free to play away.

I think that modified webcams excel on Globs because they're only 8 bit images and Globs need about four bits as there's no grey bits.
