Pleiades Cluster
-
Here is my first image of the Severn Sisters taken a couple of weeks ago, about 50 frames using DSS what do you think?:) any advise as to improve the image welcome;)
-
Lovely image very sharp, perhaps you need longer exposures to bring out the nebulous area's? but still its a great start, do you take darks as well? if I use 50 frames I would at least take 15 darks to offset any light pollution. here is an older image of the Pleides to show what I mean : http://www.flickr.com/photos/raygil/6026338702/

Yes I used darks, lights & bias:) my camera only goes to 30secs exposures.
-
30 Seconds is a really long time for tracking, so your doing very well, what ISO did you use?
-
30 secs is the max I think I used 5secs for the Pleiades, I got the Polar scope for my scope, cant quite get it paralell but it seems good enough for now.I used 1600ISO, The Sony has a lot of noise at 3200ISO. I have adjusted exposure etc on PS. I have a lot of light polution where I am:(
-
Try 15 - 20 second exposures and then take the usual blacks, the longer exposure will bring out the nebulosity, or try the Orion nebula, look forward to seeing the results,
-
I have tried the Orion Nebular but I have so much light polution the picture comes out too Orange to adjust out without loosing the image.
I took this, it was near to Andromeda, but after getting rid of the polution this is what is left

Hi Johno, just paste the URL from whatever page on your Flickr account right into your discussion post, it'll work.
