red dwalf Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 here is my joint effort with Gliders help, and also Ibbo for finding it for us ! for some reason we couldn`t get the mount to find the target which was very annoying, this is just 2 stacked, 5 minute images, we have 20 but my processing is appalling.now 9 stacked images with darks, getting there.and the last one now we`ve managed to get deep sky stacker working properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philj Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Top notch Rob, loads of the fainter whispy stuff coming through there. I like it. It is a big galaxy on the DSI chip through the SCT you only have to be a little off in pointing and youve missed it. Philj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfdesigner Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You're just getting the side on galaxy in the background.. so there's some depth there.What are you using to process?Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 i`m using deep sky stacker to stack with some problems, it keeps coming up with errors and shutting down, i did alittle processing with registax in the second image as my pc had to be reinstalled with windows and i lost photoshop cs3, when i have it back i`ll be able to do more i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Wow, good job after all the struggle we had to find the thing.Have you had a crack at the M13 data aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Nice one Rob, the extra frames in the second one really goes deeper with alot more stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 thanks not bad for only 8 darks and 8 lights in the second image, when i can find out whats playing up with dss i`ll try to stack more.not had a chance to get the darks for M13 yet Noel will try later,one question i wanted to ask you, do i need to get 20 separate darks for M51 ? i did this but it was a right bother, the meade software just wants to get a average or if i ask for 20 singles it overwrites the previous file, i had to get one at a time and then rename them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You should get as many darks as you did lights I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You need to get 20 separate images the same way we got the lights; FITS, save all uncombined images. Then median combine them to get 1 master dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
