Patrick Holland patrick@pcalliance.biz 6/6/2010 12:23:14 AM The Lagoon Nebula, taken 5-22-10 at approximately 1:30AM. The original run was 100-40 second subs. My initial processing revealed some problems of both symmetry and color. I thought the problems may have been related to a new spacing technique I was using between the Meade .63 FR and the camera chip. After talking to John, I began a painstaking process of processing all of my subs and manually eliminating 47 of the original 100. I then had Images Plus re-process the remaining subs and darks. This picture was the result. There is missing nebulosity but the core nebulosity revealed some beautiful detail... Meade 10" LX200ACF in ALT-AZ Canon XSi Rebel (Hap Modded) w/Meade .63X Focal Reducer at 55mm distance from FR to Chip. (No apparent vignetting) 53-40 Second Light Subs/20 Darks Processed in Images Plus 3.8
