Hello All,

 

The night skies have been very conducive to do Astro imaging .. motivated by this I have taken baby steps in this fantastic hobby. It's been a month and have managed to learn a few things from lots of folks here and on some great YTber's channels like Trevor Jones/AstroBackyard and Nico Carver/Nebula Photos.

 

Here is what I managed to do last night.

 

Equipment used: Canon 450d with LPF removed, Pentax M 200mm F4 Lens, SW Star ADV 2i

About 200x30sec Lights, 50Darks, 50Biases and 50Flats.

SW used: DSS and PS

 

Please see and share your opinions... everything welcome, negatives more so I can learn smile.gif

 

Also here is the link to the Tif file, I would love to see how you guys process it and the outcome.

https://drive.google...?usp=drive_link

 

Please let me know if there is any issue with downloading the Tif file, this is the first time I am sharing link to my drive.. not sure if this link works..

 

Thanks in Advance,

Umesh
