Default ASTRO: the Lagoon is back - M8_5May2008.jpg (0/1)

Taken about 4-5 AM from a farm just south of Blueknob State Park on 5
May 2008.
Taken with an NP-127 at F/5.2. Three 20 minute exposures using a
Hutech modified Canon 40D at 100ASA.
Full frame reduced to 25%.

Looks very good with low noise compared to some of your 20 minute single
frame images.

It's been a while since you posted anything -- lousy winter weather back
in the DC area too?

Rick,

very poor weather in DC and PA. Did not get to go to PA from 30 Nov
till 12 March. Spring,Summer, and Fall in the DC area is the pits.
Almost no hint of the Milky Way at zenith on even the best summer
nights from my back yard. Attached is a redo of my NGC4565 that a
friend of mine did using noise ninja.

Photoshop can do a much better job apparently of getting rid of noise.
I've not used noise ninja so don't know a thing about it. I did use
some noise reduction and sharpening in Photoshop. Working with 8 bits
doesn't give me much to work with but here's the result I came up with
in a couple minutes.
