Vicki Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm very proud of this image. This is a mixture of 90 minutes 180/240s unguided subs. The amount of detailed pulled in has blown me away for something quite faint. I'm hoping to try and add longer subs now I've learned guiding. I used the Altair quad band filter with my SW 72ED and Altair 183c fan cooled camera on a HEQ5 Pro. I also use an Altair 0.8 reducer/flattener. I have reduced the stars a little as to try and emphasise the trunk more. Still learning the art of processing but I'm a long way from where I was ? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmack1 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think thats really good. The stars are super considering its unguided up to 240s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Pretty amazing for unguided, I never got past 40s unguided before I started guiding your PA must have been spot on.Also those Quad band filters are doing a remarkable job.Keep going at this rate, and you'll be up with the best in no time.Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicki Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 @geoflewisThank you. There wasn't many 240s subs but enough to pull the detail ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 @carastroThanks Carole. PA is something I tried so hard with and I like to push my kit to its very limits before I move on to something new. It was time to start guiding though after this ?
