I thought I'd try M27 now that I'm autoguiding and using PS CS4. This was taken under a first quarter moon, and without using my CLS filter. This is a 50% crop, taken with my AT 127EDT.

After levels and curves on the whole image, I boosted the red just a touch on the nebula as my 40D is still unmodded. -------------------- Warren Astro-Tech 127EDT Celestron Onyx 80ED Astro-Tech Field Flattener C8 (circa 1983 Orange Tube) Atlas EQ-G, Orion SSAG Canon 135mm F2.8 Canon 40D, Astronomik CLS clip filter Leica, Minolta binos Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 15 registered and 14 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
