alan4908 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 An LRGB attempt of the galaxy NGC5907 representing just over 11 hours integration time. This spiral galaxy is about 50million light years from Earth and appears "edge on". It is also know as the knife edge or splinter galaxy and was taken with my Esprit 150. After I had finished processing the image, I discovered that in 2006 very faint and very odd extended tidal tales had been discovered around the galaxy. I think I'll need much longer Lum subs to pick these up although I haven't yet summed up the enthusiasm to look for them in my existing data Alan LIGHTS: L: 27, R:14, G:12, B:15 x 600s, DARKS:30, BIAS:100, FLATS:40 all at -20C.

FYI - this is my first attempt of using the advanced features of a noise reduction program called Neat Image - it's very impressive. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
