Ibbo!

Ha LRGB with the FS102 & WO 132

3 nights of 17 x 600 L x2 binning rgb 19 Ea x 300s x2 binning Ha 17 x 1200 x2 binning

More data than I thought.

Q - how many telescopes do you need?

A - All of them  🤡

You could well be correct.

I think my obession with the squid has made me think I need more data on everything else.

I do have some LRGB I don't think i have enough though. 😃

I will stack what I have and go from there.

  I am set to switch scopes...this was my last image.  If I wait for the Moon to go away I will start a narrowband image meanwhile, and then no telling when I will be able to switch.  

Vey nice .

I am in exactly the same boat as you with this object and I am wondering if I should delay the change of scopes.

So far I have only stacked the Ha.

It looks as though it might glow in the dark and those tripod legs look so spindly and they would perform like a spindly thing sat on top of jelly.

🤢🤢

Thanks Peter.

The seeing was better on the 19th/20th than last night from here.

pipp has just done chugging through last nights/this morning data.

Hoping Mars improves as the year goes on.

With the C11 using the colour ZWO on the morning of the 20th and the mono Chameleon on night of the 20th & morning of the 21st

Loads more data to sift through from this morning, but I have decided its the mono for the gas giants for a good while yet.

Thanks.

Foecast is for cloud the rest of the week.

Opps forgot the ROF

Thought it was about time for my yearly battle with the planets.

I moved the mount this afters to a place where I can get a bit more of the soutern aspect,polar aligned,ascended the new steps and fitted the C11,slewd to jupiter and poof the clouds appeared.

I managed 1 ser of 1000 frames

20% stacked

Good stuff.

Seeing from here was not great.

Last night I thought about 1 to 1-30 was the best.

Though the NLC's and moon turned up by then.

its got an impressive tail.

Ha with Lunt 60mm and D/S Chamelon cam

Ed 80 reduced & Lunt 600 Cak bf

do the clicky thing for full res.

Too many clouds

Ha with Lunt 60mm and D/S Chameleon cam

200 frames stacked

do the clicky thing for full res.

Slightly different process to bring out the prom at 9 o'clock

Might well be the data quality then. I'm still surprised as to how easily APP handles preprocessing, it has simplified my workflow so much.

I agree.

I will have time to try it again, that is if I don't get any pressing tasks from the other half.

Lovely work so far! Not sure which software you're using, but have you tried AstroPixelProcessor? I've not tried a mosaic with it yet, but it handles my integrations of varying angles with ease.

Thanks.

Yes thats what I have been using.

It put the 9 panes together no bother.

Thanks for your comments.

I have gathered a bit more data to expand the area but the software is struggling to join it properly.

I am saying software but it is more likely poor data and will have to wait while the moon gets out of the way and the weather improves again  before I can try again.

How do you create the dark inner circle? - thanks

Photoshop magic.

Using the eliptical Marquee tool set to the approx size of the sun disc I nudge it to fit and using the select to to increase or decrease by a pixel or 2 , then using curves the grab the white point and drag it to 0, select - inverse  and colour to taste.
