[MikeD]

Hi all

I forgot I hadn't processed this this data set.

Taken on the night s of the 4th, 6th and 9th of October through my 10"  newt and SXVFH9

L = 54   @ 600 seconds

R =   8  @ 600 seconds

G = 12  @ 240 seconds

B =   8   @ 345 seconds

Thanks for looking.

Mike.

Haven't seen anything from you for ages, Mike - you haven't lost your touch though! The H9 is a cracker isn't it?

[MikeD]

Thanks Steve.

Yes it is. a great cam.

Astro has taken a bit of a back seat for a while but there is nothing like thoughts of  xmas presents  to rekindle your interest.

I am thinking it's time to dive into full colour narrowband with a Oiii and SII to go with the Ha filter.

That's very nice indeed.

SII can be quite elusive but vital for Hubble Palette images. OIII is great stuff and very powerful bi-colour images (with Ha) make adding it to your equipment list a good idea. Filters and a filter wheel will even fit in a Standard British Stocking :grin:

Great image love it

Very nice, one of my favorite galaxies.

Thanks guys.

Just pulled the trigger on used SII and OIII astronomik filters on eBay.

That just jumps out of the screen! What a great image.

54 x 600s L's ????  Gee, thats a lot of data!  A nice result though.

[MikeD]

Thanks again guys.

Thanks.

For me the key to a good image is lots of time at the scope, which means a lot less time processing as noise is not an issue, even when pushing the data hard.
