Some DSOs whilst awaiting Pluto's entrance!

[nytecam]

Last night, whilst awaiting Pluto to emerge from my neighbours giant willow, I bagged some new-to-me DSOs in Oph and Sgr all but one NGC objects thus..  Used my Meade 30cm f/4 SCT+SX Lodestar-Cx2 OSC camera - data on images.  Reference data below from Megastar.

Hope it's of interest.

Nice images and an interesting report. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome nytecam! Those are some really amazing shots indeed! From the descriptions, those are not stacked? I assume those are not LL images?

Nice!

Nice!

The scope drive is playing up limiting exposures to 20s -30s and these are stacked in combo or not to equal exposure on image header. Not resolve a problem with LL via Win 7 with square lo-res stars so returned to original SX s/w which has auto dark/flat/LP correction options and many filters including sky gradiant - London LP from 12m folk needs all the help it can get but I get by pretty well :-)
