IC405       #5576803 - 12/18/12 04:39 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I shot this target, which it is probably the last one for the nexts 2/3 months, yesterday night. Tomorrow I'll coming back to Brasil where it is starting the heavy rain season. It is a sum of 15 frames each of 10 minutes at 800ISO from a urban - but not so bad - sky (Cuneo, Italy). The overall stream of image processing has been done with P.I.

Re: IC405 [Re: carlo rocchi]       #5576887 - 12/18/12 07:34 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks a lot, Carlo. I have discovered, with 90% of certainty, which is the root cause for these annoying halos: the Baader filter. Probabily its poor quality and a not right set up is creating reflex for the brightest objects. Anyway the Takahashi FS60C is a real jewel. I like it a lot.

AstroBin is showing a 404 for it now. I hope that's just a glitch on their part and that you didn't pull it offline. Don't let the troll voters win.

Re: IC405 [Re: rob77]       #5592149 - 12/28/12 04:52 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I made a last processing try to mask as much as possible the brightest stars in order to reduce the halos. http://www.astrobin.com/27755/ Best Regards, Roberto Post Extras:       Mark72 sage Reged: 09/19/12 Loc: Munich, Germany Re: IC405 [Re: rob77]       #5592153 - 12/28/12 04:58 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice work Roberto, The only positive way of thinking about 2 stars is not to think about them at all.

As Mark says - ignore the ratings. There are too many who always put 1 or 2 stars on everything they see. You will get better feedback from this forum.

If you look at my last elaboration is much better than the first one (which unfortunately has been canceled).
