M42 and beehive+saturn, skylux70, anyone want a challange?

I think M42 is impressive, nice FOV

The FOV arond saturn is good also..

One easy way to remove light pollution......I only learned this last night

1. Load image in ps
2. Go to Image - Adjustments - Curves
3. Select the 'set black point' eyedropper
4. Click on a heavily lp area, this will immediately get rid of the lp,
5. You can adust afterwards to your liking
6. RESULT!!! No more crappy orange glow!!!!! Victory at last!!!!
Try it with any of you lp photos!!!

Keith..

Sorry Dave - had a go but didn't do any better than the other folks here...

Nice images Dave.

I'd be fairly certain that the 'blueness' of the stars is down to chromatic abberation:( You will see the same in all achromats, vbut hey, for a scope of that price you cant argue can you. Those are fine images. Really shows that the skylux is a capable scope. As for value for money, well the debate is over!

you're probabily right there Dave, I get the same blue stars with the etx70
