Hi all,
Yep...I finally did it. I got an Atik .5 focal reducer and had to try it out last night. So, I took it and my Atik 1HS mono-webcam and tried M3. Globulars are my favorite objects after solar system. I hope to do more with this encouraging result!! I shot thirty 5 second exposures and stacked 24 of them. I did a slight wavelet and tweaked in PSP by doing an unsharp mask. There are no dark frames (tho I have one) because I'm not sure how to do it.
I was quite pleased with my first real try!
