Mersing Sept 2012

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!

Mersing Sept 2012

Post by shirox »

This trip, Kelvin, me and Kelvin's friend Royce headed up only.
There was some serious heavy rain when we reached. But straight after the rain, we were rewarded with the best sunset i have seen in my life.
First night seeing was so so, with clouds moving in and out. Until early morning 3-6am, the sky was clear!
Got some nice data but as usual, still struggling with my processing skills.
So here it is,

Orion's Belt Widefield

Like that call "struggling with my processing skills."?? Then I had no choice but just admit that I had no processing skill... [smilie=bad-atmosphere.gif]

Have a nice day.

That's not bad, only slightly longer than Sedili.
Would you consider that to be "standard driving" or "express driving"?
