Hi all,

Here's my first attempts with my new DSI-Pro II.

http://autostarsuite.net/photos/dsnay/category1051/picture6993.aspx

It's M57 shot through my 400mm APO camera lens piggybacked on my LX90 guided with my DSI-Pro. The only processing I've done is to align the subexposures and combine them in ASIP. Then I aligned the results and combined in Photoshop. I adjusted the levels only slightly before combining to bring the background down a little bit.

These were 1 minute exposures with a total of only about 10 minutes in each channel useable.

I'm not sure I'll spend much time processing this one as it was my first imaging session and it was intended as a test, but with New England weather you never know....

As always, any/all comments/suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,

Dave

Hey, Dave!

Pretty darned nice!   Color looks good.

You probably noticed there is a lot more response on the Cloudy Nights site.   That's my normal hangout...I'm trying to cut down a bit on the different groups, but I still like to come back here...kind of like home Smiley

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah Cloudynights is definitely more active, but this is definitely home. I was probably prowling around on Cloudynights long before I found this site, but this one just feels more like old friends.

New Toy shocked

Your arsenal of tools is sure growing shocked

With that combination you should be able to get some nice wide field shots smiley

Nice going Dave, can't wait to see more.
