Very nice. How do you keep the star color with all that red exposure?

M51-Bad Vignetting(need help)

Posted By Brian Maynard

I would like to see the image before you did anything to it. The image you posted dosen't look like vignetting. That would be were the light falls off at the corners and would be bright in the middle. Looks like some dust somewere on the optical path. A good flat would correct that but a cleaning would work better.

M51-Bad Vignetting(need help)

Posted By Brian Maynard

I agree Tyler. Seeing the untuched image is definetly vignetting. The donut in the first image looked like dust.
Brian are you using a reducer?

Omega Centauri

Posted By Brian Maynard

If its color you wanted, you got it. A little processing on the cluster would make a spectacular finish.

Looks pretty good.

I have the camera now what?

Posted By Brian Maynard

Get "The new CCD Astronomy" by Ron Wadaski. Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask is in that book, including the answers to the questions you have now. Before you spend another dime on any thing else, get the book.

M20 wide field in H-alpha

Very smooth image Thomas. I've never seen all the nebulosity around the Triffid before. Excellent.
