First DSO picture from Myanmar!

Post by boothee »

Hi,

This would be the first DSO picture taken from Myanmar. LOLz :D
But I'm sure this is my very first DSO picture.
Since I received T-Ring from Joo Beng, the weather is cloudy. A few days ago, weather was quite clear, so I tried to take some DSO shoots. I choose M42 as it is quite bright. :D

Here they are:

Very First Picture

Second Picture

Second Picture - 2nd edition together with my friend who is good in CS3

I'm really happy with my results. Your comments are welcome!

Clear Skies!

Well done, Boothee!!!!

If my 1st DSO images had come out as good as yours I would have thrown a party! LOL.

Yep, I agree about stacking more frames. The detail will pop out and the noise should vanish [smilie=good-job.gif]
Cheers, Ken :D
