M101 - Clear filter

[daz]

Blimey its been a long time!!

So much so that I forgot to change the filters when I moved from Green to Blue, so have twice the amount of G and no B!!!

Will have to retake that tonight (fingers crossed)!!

So, initial results from 24 x 300s:

ED80 + SXVF-H9 + SX OAG + Lodestar

EQ6 Pro Mount

Maxim for guiding, acquisition, align, combine

PS5 for levels and curves only at this stage

Very nice indeed, Daz it shows the spiral offset superbly!

[Dave]

Nice one Daz.

Looks like a clear one is on offer tonight to get your B data.

I missed the last two clear nights and I won't be out tonight either as I've got the lurge. YUK!

Looking good amigo , I think a bit of colour would really show it off.

Well, you have a great foundation to build on Daz. I've seen some fantastic results of this face on beauty, I'm looking forward to seeing another.

[Ant]

Very nice mate. Shame about the B frames though

As Ron said that's a great starting point, It's going to look great once you've added the colour data and do I remember you saying that your going to take some Ha data as well?

Cheers

Nice capture Daz' and structure of the galaxy nice and clear with you.Mark

[daz]

Too knackered to do anything about the missing blue, apart from a test of CCD Commander just to prove it was me at fault!!

Forecast looks clear though, so it's an early alarm call for me!

Thanks for the comments guys

ROFL... hahah Ive been that soldier

Well were now waiting for the colour Daz..

[jgs001]

So that's what you were working on ? Come out nicely Daz, despite the lack of Blue ... good luck for the rest of the colours tonight.

[daz]

Thanks all

Got the blue data so will process tonight - if I can remember how to of course!!!

[daz]

Hmmm....... More data I think is the shout here!

The blue got cut short due to clouds, and it doesn't help that I have forgotten everything about processing..... again!

M101 in colour....

Looks alright to me amigo, sometimes the 'muted' look makes for a nicer image. Just out of interest, have you tried pushing the saturation up a little and seeing how that looks?
