[APML] Scorpius and clouds




Hi! =) 

Here is my latest wide field astrophoto: 

http://astro.astrophoto.vze.com/sco-nubes5.jpg
(about 1Mb...) 

The tech-data: 

Object: Scorpius (and some intruder clouds)
Site: Daniel Verschatse's Observatory, Los Andes, Chile
Date: 07/26/03
Exp. Time: 13m
Camera: Canon F1
Lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.4
F/stop: 4.0
Film: Kodak E200 (+2steps)
Guiding: Manual
Mount: Advanced Series CG-5
Comments: Scorpius was very low... and in the middle of the exposure all the 
sky went cloudy, and i had to close the shutter. Seeing and transparency 
very poor. The image is horizont up, to reveal in a more familiar way the 
constelation. 

The Digital Treatment:
Scanned with Polaroid SS35 at 2700ppi
Cropped and some dust erased with Photoshop.
Levels, Curves, SMI, Wavelets Noise Reduction, etc. using PixInsight beta.
A soft USM (not the "real") applied with Photoshop, and saved as jpeg. 


I hope you'll like it. =) 


Regards, 

Carlos Milovic F.
