M97 The Owl Nebula 24.03.2017
Vicky050373 commented on Vicky050373's gallery image in Member's Album
Hi Sean, thank you for your kind comments. It was the first time I had tried imaging M97 and I found it very difficult. I'm really pleased with my image, I just wish I'd spent a few more minutes checking the sensor screen for dust! As the object is very faint visually (and I live in a highly light polluted area) it took me around 1 hour to locate it in my EP and then get it on the chip. I don't usually image with the SCT, but knowing this is a very faint and small target I thought I'd get all the light and magnification on it I could. Once I was sure it was on or near the chip, I found that 5 second exposures binned at 8x8 showed it on the screen. I eventually got it framed albeit over to the left hand side but I was frightened of losing it altogether so left it where it was. I use either my NEQ6 or HEQ5 for imaging. In this case it was the HEQ5 which manages the 8SE well enough for a quick back yard session. Vicky -

Thank you for your comments. As well as imaging, I love doing visual astronomy and I often have my binoculars to hand if my scope is otherwise occupied doing the imaging. As I view and image objects such as globular clusters I wonder what the night sky would look like if I was on a planet orbiting one of the stars. I never get tired of the sights we can behold in our sky -

M13, also designated NGC 6205 and sometimes called the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules or the Hercules Globular Cluster, is a globular cluster of about 300,000 stars in the constellation of Hercules. Imaged using Atik 16IC-S monochrome CCD and William Optics FLT-110 mounted on NEQ6 Pro. 30 light frames ranging from 60 seconds to 600 seconds, no darks. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker, using the best 80% of frames and processed in Photoshop CS2© vicky050373

Love those photographs Mike! I might be seeing Gain tomorrow so I'll chat to him then. Gain would have been around 40 years old in those photos - crazy bonkers! Him and Adele are the loveliest couple and have two gorgeous young children. You are right about his twisted humour though. Think that's why we get on so well
-
Haha, yes I've just noticed that! That'll be little Gain Henry pulling his scope out of alignment on it's AZ mount. Most of the scopes had been polar aligned for imaging and lifted into position for the photograph. It was really special to see all that kit together I see Gain every week Mike. Think he might have had his ears lowered the other week, but his hair is always on the long side. Gain wouldn't be Gain with short hair. Have you known him long? I've only known him around 18 months, but I am his imaging Padawan lol. In fact, my WO110 was his his scope and I bought it from him when he upgraded. It's a beautiful scope. I am very fortunate to have him as my imaging mentor
-
Oh well then Chris, maybe you should check out the Huddersfield Astronomical Society group photograph. We caused quite a stir, as you can imagine. I've never seen so many scopes and mounts together in one place - fracs, maks and dobs (including a 24") - but mainly fracs! It was hard work to do, and messed up everyone's polar alignment haha, but it was good fun and not something you'll see again soon. The photo even features me (which is something else you won't see again soon lol)
