Results of Last Night (14.09.02)

[Macavity]

Pretty good night last night... Started my MINI "Messier Marathon"!

Quite a few Globular Clusters logged... ALL looking rather similar?

Personal Highlights were:

M33 - Worked quite HARD on this one. 100 x 10.24 sec integrations. Then screwed up

(changed settings) for dark frame - Aaaargh! We have "Black tadpoles" as a result!

Idem Galaxy M74 + Tadpoles

Random Planetary Nebula appearing on Carte du Ciel. But an Intriguing one? 

http://www.kopernik.org/images/archive/n7048.htm (What it should look like with 20" scope!)

Finally, pointed scope at Uranus... Not expecting very much. Single shot taken.

I have circumstantial evidence for satellite TITANIA(?) I cannot claim the others!

Next time, adding a 2x Barlow might move these out of from diffraction spikes etc. etc.

Excellent results - especially liked the PN 7048 in Cyg - PNe are one of my favourite targets and plenty on my homepage
