I think this one came out much better! 1hr40mins total integration time in 21x5 mins subs. Darks and bias applied. C9.25, EQ6 Syntrek, modded 450D with UHC filter. Stacked in DSS, tweaked in PS and final nose reduction in NeatImage. Second image is a closer crop showing more detail. I'd like to pull out some more colour from the core , whilst toning down the background and reducing the red, so if any of you want a bash at it feel free! -------------------- DSLR AstroMod DSLR filter removal and replacement packages http://www.dslrastromod.co.uk ------------------------------- Post Extras:       Nils_Lars Post Laureate Reged: 01/04/08 Posts: 3447 Loc: Santa Cruz Mountains , CA Re: Stab at the Crab [Re: KevinUK]       #3407537 - 10/24/09 01:31 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   You got the red structure to show and even some of the green , thats tough to do.
