Thanks very much! Yes, taking exposures for nearly an hour in the cold does take patience!!

Yep, that's true, deatils are great. BTW. Do what do you think is the best object for 50mm f:1,4 on normal tripod? I thought of Orion first.

Thanks you, thank you Man, you're right. There's no colour. I haven't touched any colours during tweaking, and no, it's not a b&w version. It's funny though, becasue i've just been playing with some astro pics in PS using the different coloured (RGB) channels. It makes a hell of a difference. Our friend Sven told me about trying that. I'll tweak some colours in the future. The other negative is the star trails!! I'll hopefully sort that out soon

What's wrong with your focusing mate?
Cheers

And, for the tiny startrails (I see them now since you said so), try the deconvolution method, with such small trails it will be possible. A friend of mine once eliminated startrails with a black (as in 0,0,0) brush in photoshop...also in the centre of M31...

Focusing is sooo difficult with our Takahashi, it is very sensitive to the smallest adjustment. I need some sort of 'micro' focus knob. Or I use my notebook, so I'll see bigger images of the stars.

Maybe an electric focuser?

Kokone In reply to quicksimon [2007-03-22 17:45:53 +0000 UTC]

We have the option to get one, but the idea of buying one has not yet transformed into the act itself...More important is a 2" focuser.
