Re: [APML] Images



Hi Monte!
 
Thanks for your comments.
BTW, I have a question about scanning pictures. I know that I should set resolution as high as possible (2400 dpi - the highest resolution in my scanner), but how about "scale"? It's in percent (should I set 100%, 50%)?.
 
Best regards, Chris.

Dear Chris,
                They are quite good and you have done well to get that sort of result with lab pictures. My only comment would be try to match the objects to the image scale offered by each lens. For example it would be better to use the 300mm more. The 50mm looks like a nice piece of coke bottle but is probably better suited to milky way shots. I have a 50mm too and that's where it is best. Its image scale is a bit too small for much else.
 
That said, your early efforts are far better than my early disasters.
 
Don't give up you are on the right track.
 
Regards
 
Monte

My name is Christopher Gaudy and this is my first message on this list.
I have just recieve from minilab my astro-images, which I have done in September. I'm new in astrophotography and these pictures are my third attempt. I would like to know what do you think about it. Please tell me everything what I've done bad (especially what do you think about my enhancing images in Photoshop - color correction, scaning etc.).
All pictures were enhanced only in Photoshop 5.5. The film was Kodak Supra 400ASA, mount: EQ5, manually guided.
Cygnus; Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar DDR 2.8/50 at f/4., 25 minutes: http://www.astroamator.pl/apml/cygnus.jpg
Comet Hoenig: 4.5/300 at f/4.5, 20 minutes, (when I have been shooting picture, the comet was 7.5 mag.): http://www.astroamator.pl/apml/hoenig.jpg
NGC 884, NGC 869 in Perseus; 4.5/300mm at f/4.5, (this one was on Fuji NPZ 800ASA), 20 minutes.: http://www.astroamator.pl/apml/hihi.jpg
All pictures I have done in Poland, Czestochowa 51N, 19E.
 
Comments welcome...
 
Clear skies, Chris
