    I'm in the shed capturing some more subs of Eta Carinae and there is a moquito in here with me - I can hear it but I can't see the little blighter; I'm sure it's going to get me  :eek:

    New update to blog entry:

    Discovery by Caroline Herschel 1783 - Sculptor Galaxy

    Added a text introduction and a sketch of the 'nebula' as observed in the 20' telescope at Slough by Sir John Herschel around 1825-33

    16GB of memory is not enough to integrate 273 x 6016x4016 32bit images in PixInsight without thrashing the hard drive :hmh:

      You could try stacking them in groups of 10 - and then stacking those groups?

      Cheers, yes, I think I will have to split them up next time.  Eventually it finished -although it took a while :)

    Finally a couple of good nights :hello2:

    - no moon - tick
    - no clouds - tick
    - no smoke from hazard reduction fires - tick
    - low humidity - tick
    - light breeze - tick
    - good seeing - tick
    - no guiding gremlins - tick

    Initial imaging results look promising from the couple of short sessions I managed on NGC253 ( Sculptor Galaxy ) and NGC6744

      It's beautiful and it's going to be awesome after processing. I can't wait!

      Not sure of the plan for this weekend yet; the forecast is for it to be clear so I may manage to get some more data ( so far for the Sculptor Galaxy I have around 200 x 240 sec subs + 70 and so shorter subs for the highlights ).  On the other hand, if it turns bad then I will just go ahead and process what I have.
