Rosette with Borg 45ED

[madjohn]

Hi folks

Haven't posted for a while, been busy and lousy skies to blame.

Happy to say I managed to get out and image with my new Miniborg 45ED, a really nice portable scope (focal lengths only 276mm!)

This is the Rosette, I've slightly cropped the image and is the sum of 38 X 5 min subs at ISO 800, using my modded 450D.

Hope you like it

Another nice result, though there is vignetting/gradient showing.

Did you use flats?

Below is a quick run through gradientX.

Thanks very much Mike!

No I didn't take flats, I have only just bought an electroluminescent panel so will be trying to in future.

That Gradient Xterminator looks a great package, how easy is it to implement?

Looks a great image after you ran it, much better background colours.
