NGC 1977 close in.

[centroid]

We had company last night, and they didn't leave until midnight, but as they were leaving, I looked up and its was as 'clear a gin', so I couldn't bear to 'look a gift horse in the mouth'

Was not at my best, as I was was quite tired, and suitably relaxed by a couple of ample Whiskeys that I'd enjoyed, but out to the obsy I went.

Orion was 'climbing' nicely, so I thought I'd have a go at getting close in to the 'Running Man' (NGC1977).

Set the 'gear' up to capture 20x240sec subs, but by the time it had captured ten, I was 'nodding off'. Very easy to do in the comfort of a 'warm-room', especially after a 'wee dram' or two . So, thought I'd better 'pack it in', before I awoke to find that I was imaging the daylight sky :shock:

So, only half the number of subs intended, but not too bad considering.

12" LX200R - f/6.3 FR - SXVF-H9C and 10x240 sec subs.

You are really up close and personal with that one Dave. Great image too, and track A1.

The amber nectar sounds nice, but only in the house. Bad Idea in the Ob.
