Image taken 3 September 2008 from Blackwood, South Australia Equipment - Takahashi TSA102S, flattener with Astro 40D camera by Central DS Guiding - ED80 with USB DMK on CGE mount. 6 x 12 minute subs Darks, flats and bias's applied Processed in Images Plus and Photoshop CS3 Note - this image has some noise in it due to an AC to DC power adapter I am trialling as a replacement to the gel cell battery. Also the guiding was not great on the night. There was some wind and the stars were slightly elongated. I also made a modification to the field flattener which seems to work when used in conjunction with the camera rotator. |
