Here are a couple more wide field shots taken with two cameras. The detailed portion is shot with a SBIG 402ME with internal filter wheel. The wide field background is taken with an unmodified Canon Digital Rebel (300d).
The pixel size on the Rebel is 7.4 microns and the pixel size on the 402ME is 9 microns, so I have to manually scale the 402ME image by 121.6% and manually rotate and align the stars. The two images are then merged in Photoshop Elements, the package that comes with a lot of cameras and is really pretty handy.
Both the detail and widefield images are through a TEC APO 140 mounted on a Losmandy G11. The first is M27 and the second is M13. (But you knew that
)
Please let me know if the colors are whacked on your monitor. I am adjusting these by eye on a laptop.
