St2000XCM and 8" LX200. Not too bad I guess from being 5 minutes from a major city and no LP filter

M13 A little help pleasePosted By Brian Maynard |
I post images on here from time to time and I know that they are not up to the standards of the professionals that post images on this fine site. How about some do's and donts. Take this image of M13. Why is the background all freaked out. The stars look pretty good, I think, but the back ground sucks. So if you can spare a few words, they dont have to be sugar coated I'm a grown man I can take it I would like to hear what everyone thinks. Thats what this forum is for after all, to share images and ideas along with a little help.

M45Posted By Brian Maynard |
5 ten minute images combined. I would have taken more but like Stu said, gotta go to work :C . Feel free to let me know exactly what you think please. And here's a question for you refractor guys/gals.
What would cause stars in an image to be round in the center of an image but the star closer to the edge to be elongated?

Galaxies are a real tuff one for me being so close to a city. I don't think it turned out to bad though.

I'm not sure why but my scope just dosn't track well in this part of the sky.

FINALLY,First light FSQ106Posted By Brian Maynard |
Wow, November sucked. I think the whole month was cloudy.
Finally got a chance to try out my new FSQ 106. I thought I'd start with something easy. Big beautiful Orion.
Tak. 106
ST 2000XCM one shot color
IDAS LP filter
5x8 min exposures
Maxim 4.0
Photoshop CS
Reduced by 25%
Comments are very much welcome.
I think alot of folks worry more about a jet black sky background.
First, the sky isn't jet black and second, I think you get more detail from the image if you try to match your skies actual color.
Hope you like it.
