    I didn't actually check, but both dew heaters were on.
  2. TiffsAndAstro
    They are histogram views and look much less intense than my usual stacks. More gain would make it more intense? No cooling would increase noise and maybe result in a sort of evening out? I'll check file names
  3. TiffsAndAstro
    Yeah these are all good points and makes it worthwhile. At least at my level. Are any globular clusters known to have many red stars? Betelgeuse was the last I saw way back early this year.

    I saw constellations before 1230, the w Cassiopeia I think and others. I think a big thing is I need more experiences good and bad so I can tell. Also I've never done any purely visual observing and i think that would be of use now. To some extent
  5. TiffsAndAstro
    Will do. Don't want people to process it for me, but would love some insights. Main one likely to be I need to use a mask for the outer stuff. Inner stuff I dunno.
  6. TiffsAndAstro
    Maybe I could use the stars. Background alone has almost nothing but grey. Just a tiny hint of elephants trunk.
  7. TiffsAndAstro
    Yeah it's doable but would make me sad to waste so many pixels
  8. TiffsAndAstro
    didn't mean to sound dismissive about globular clusters, its more my least favourite dso. i don't think less (or more) about people who do really like them
  9. TiffsAndAstro
    sorry to hear that, but its also good to know ty can i ask how you know visibility was terrible? it looked good to my eyes - obvious passing clouds aside of course
  10. TiffsAndAstro
    I got my own M27 up to 6.5 hours broadband, but I'm struggling to process it. Hopefully can do some NB on it soon use the broadband as stars
  11. TiffsAndAstro
    Honestly I don't like globular star clusters. I've imaged ok (or so I though) with a fuller moon so I'm not 100% convinced it's the cause of both targets showing similar results. But I did come outside, I think, about 1030 and thought "oooh the bright yellow moon looks nice". It was low between houses. If my telescope can't see it, it can't see my telescope ;(
  12. TiffsAndAstro
    Now you mention that, I did notice fewer stars than I expected, though hard to quantify. I will bin mine after couple more tests
  13. TiffsAndAstro
    Also have you just stacked lights? Is it present then?
  14. TiffsAndAstro
    I can't sell a third kidney I'd have to give up the booze. Bank robbery is a good shout though.
  15. TiffsAndAstro
    Yeah but 1/4 pixels is better than no pixels by not imagining? I can separate out Ha and Oiii via a siril script, but need to look into how I could combine multiple sessions, some Ha+Oiii some just Ha, if that makes sense?
  16. TiffsAndAstro
    i was under the impression that the Oiii data taken under moonlight would be susceptible to the broadband reflected by the moon. so i was hoping for a supplementary filter that didn't involve Oiii and was worth using under moon light. but to be fair, this doesn't make much sense as there would then be 4 colours to work into the RGB spectrum for a final image
  17. TiffsAndAstro
    Yeah need something higher up. But not much into UV. 50% is still better than nothing. I wonder why I've not noticed this effect before though. Maybe was more subtle than last night. I'm still 50% certain I've changed/broken something:(
  18. TiffsAndAstro
    I have a set of sequences ready so I can zoom from one part of the sky to another. Not worked out well so far
  19. TiffsAndAstro
    i was thinking i can't be only person with an osc who doesn't want to throw away half their photons when moons is out. all dnb filters have Oiii? a Ha/S might be cool ? Could maybe use that when moon is up and not throw away half my data. not going mono. at least for many many years.
  20. TiffsAndAstro
    I will be outside for only minutes as my rig will be so reliable I'll be asleep from 7pm to 7am
  21. TiffsAndAstro
    Yeah no Oiii but can still use the Ha. There's no odd/unusual companion to go with a Ha/Oiii filter like say Hb/He lol is there?
  22. TiffsAndAstro
    Atm if it looks 33% possible to image for minimum 2 hours I'll set up at 9 while still daylight and be 3ppa at 930.
  23. TiffsAndAstro
    Ok I think I've checked everything else, so I'll put it down to moon. Dnb filter should be here in 5 days ish...I got the 2" 7nm and a third filter holder for £120 all inc
  24. TiffsAndAstro
    For me it was clear from 930 and I was polar aligned about 915. I do seem to struggle identifying if there's a thin layer of cloud though
  25. TiffsAndAstro
    Also I literally have 4 apps on my phone. My favourite is still the Flo one, even though it retrospectively improves its predictions
