M51 with SC3, 28. February 2004. C8, 0.33x
Meade focal reducer, Baader IRB filter and SC3 b/w RAW camera. Captured as
200x7sec using ~50% gain.
Capture and processing in K3CCDTools 1. The dark frames were completely black, so they were not used. Final adjustments in Photoshop. |
All images below were shot with my old Vesta 675K SC1 camera (uncooled).
