Here's my latest 4 from the last new moon (M27,
M16, IC1977 and the eastern Veil) on my 10" SCT. Tried unhypered LE400
against everyone's better judgement and guess what I found out... the
experts are right again! Much less detail, poorer color balance (blue
barely makes it at all - M33 and the pleides didn't show up enough to make much
out at all), and got some strong green casts I didn't understand on the
scans. Boy do I miss that discontinued PMZ1000! Any tips for
unhypered film?! I may go to E200 but don't like some of the limitations
and color issues from what I've tried in the past.
I've uploaded the brighter objects that showed
something and were still new and fun images to get. Still learning to get
the ST-4 to track consistently well. I get it on one image and miss it on
the next... Didn't get 2 images of any one object to track well enough to
have a good pair to stack either so I have to live with the grain as
well.
Anyway, I think I learned a bit and had fun doing
these. Comments really appreciated as always.
