some shots from 13th Sept 2009
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:30 am
I managed to take some shots last night (took Monday off from work so I could stay up late!!)
All of the shots were taken with a Canon 450D (unmodded with cls filter) through a WO Megrez 72 refractor piggybacked on a CGE11. All shots are unguided. Stacked in DSS and levels and curves in Gimp 2.0.
The processing is very crude so please forgive some of the images. The North American nebula came out much better than I expected for such a small instrument and an unmodded camera.
