If you know where to look, Neptune is also visible in this picture, as well as M73.

I've been playing with DSS a bit trying it out and took 10 images and 10 darks and stacked them, and with a bit of adjustment in Digital Photo Professional this is what came out. I don't like it but at least I am learning a bit about the software and the basics of how you guys do this stuff. -------------------- http://astronomyguy63.blogspot.com/ LXD75 SN6-UHTC Cave Astrola 10" f/5 Garrett 15x70/FarSight Canon XS (1000D) Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
