37 Is The Magic Number - Again! was created by Keith g
Hi again all, I'm just in from my first real 'deepsky' imaging session in my backyard under clear skies this evening, I'm a rookie when it comes to this type of imaging, but I gave it a try with the '37' cluster NGC2169 in Orion.
All of this to me is new, and everything I done was manual - polar aligning, focusing through the scope, taking as many short exposures as possible to see what I would get - and I was surprised. It was taken with a Canon 300D through my C8 SCT. This is a stack of three 20sec exposures at ISO800.
Just slight alterations in ps...
I don't think it went to badly

Nice image Keith,
did you focus the image manually or did you use a PC?

Dave, all manual focus, no pc/laptop used, just my eye :shock:
Seanie, these are the stars natural colours, so it's nice that the camera picks these up well

Also, did you do much processing to get the yellows out of those stars or is that almost their natural colour?
