Pinwheel Galaxy
The same day I went for something less known and more challenging.
I started the goto function and went to the object I was not used and capable to see before with my old gear: the Pinwheel Galaxy.
I made 40 images with an exposure time of 10 seconds, with an ISO of 1000, and let the autostacker and derotater do their work.
Hereafter I also used PhotoShop CS6 to make some small adjustments on curves, levels and color balance to get the result mentioned in the post.
First light | Orion Nebula
The first light with my new setup.
After letting the scope do its initialization, plate solving and autofucus, I started the goto function and went to the object I knew the best: the M42 Orion Nebula.
I made 26 images with an exposure time of 10 seconds, with an ISO of 1000, and let the autostacker and derotater do their work.
Hereafter I used PhotoShop CS6 to make some small adjustments on curves, levels and color balance to get the result mentioned in the post.
I will also put all my posts in the Image Gallery.
