    ...d’you need a special mount for your camera? :))

  • 3rdrock replied

    hi Nat , yes i use a telescope mount , with a telescope attached and the dslr fits onto the scope with no lense so i am using the scope as the lense

    What can I say? This is simply breathtaking and just like the kind of image NASA would produce. Stunning- that’s all I can say.

    Absolutely great! (and I’m a fan of Hubble’s pictures, so I’m amazed you can get this more or less in your back garden!)

    Whish I had 10c for every time I have seen this in a scope. Beautifully caught. What program do you use to stack the images?

  • 3rdrock replied 15 days ago

    cheers Andrew , the software is deep sky stacker , free

    Excellent capture, and an amazing amount of detail for such short subs and small numbers of them. Also, you’ve not blown the trap, nicely processed. Full marks… It looks like you’ve got a bit of a vignette around the edges… flats would deal with that though.

    thanks for your kind comment , i have now got a light box so full frame imaging with no vignetting is now possible
