I bow before your superior skill!! :-)
Seriously dude, that comet shot rocks. Your polar alignment is spot on and your stars are beautiful pinpoints! Was that a single 10 minute exposure or a stack of shorter ones??
You da man! |

So crisp and clear.

well dont bow so quickly, you havent seen the 1,000's of astro photos I have taken that were trash. I took some 80 images last night and had 20 keepers (10 were of the moon). I just got lucky on a few images last night.
The wide field shot that was 10 minutes was a single exposure @ ISO 200. The processing I did was color balance and sharpening, not much else.
Also to make the tracking much better I just had my camera on the EQ mount. Plus at the lower focal length (100mm Vs 1180mm) helps out a lot also.

Sorry but since these are both on the same topic, it is best to consolidate. Please continue this discussion here.
Thanks,
Terry
