DSI's Blue Snowball, second try...

Here we go again, this time used a 2x barlow on my scope to pump up the magnification on this lil' nebula...

This was my second time out with the DSI, and there's so much to learn it is not funny!
Anyways, not a stellar shot, but having fun while learning how to use this darn thing!

Equipment:
Meade 10" LX-200GPS
Celestron f/6.3 reducer.
Celestron Ultima 2x barlow.
Meade DSI

40x15sec exposures, stacked in Registax, and processed in Photoshop.


Clear skies to all, and keep your shots coming!

Actually Ivan, I think you caught some pretty good detail in that image. Great job.

hi Ivan,

nice shot, remarkable I think for an inexpensive camera on an Alt-Az mount. I played with it in PaintShopPro and came up with this ( cleaned up the noise and rebalanced the colors )


clear skies,

Nice shot, but a quick question. Why a f/6.3 reducer and then a 2x barlow?
