CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
Hi
I have been busy on this for a few weeks trying to finish it between the rain and cloud. This is a difficult subject in OIII as I couldn't detect any at all on the downloaded subframes. Anyway, after a fair bit of stretching I've got an end result that I'm happy with. I've just got a new computer and the screen is quite bright and contrasty compared with the old one so I've had to desaturate the colours a bit. This was taken with the Televue/FLI system that I'm testing. Exposures are 20x10 minutes Ha, 24x10 minutes OIII and 18x10 minutes SII and then assigned to the HST palette.

It is how many people, less fortunate than you, got to look through it."
