NGC 3893

[orionoffelt]

I imaged NGC 3893 and it's companion over two nights 06-07-03-16 Lum of 28 x 420 seconds and RGB of 5 x 300 seconds each no binning scope Celestron 280 mm at F 6.3 and camera QHY9m I had problems with gradients as they have just fitted a new LED street light outside and it's light is falling onto the observatory they said they are going to fit a shield so I will see how it goes when that happens I just thought I would mention the lights as I believe they are to fitted all over the UK the data did not seem to be effected much as long as the scope was not pointed in the lights direction.

Nice shot. Not one we see that often

Nice shot, even with the stray light coming in too. Well done!

Thanks for the kind comments I do hope they can shield this LED street light they are not the things we want as astro imagers.
