carastro Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Was inspired by Alan's vastly superior 18 hour image two days ago, just before going to Astro camp in East Sussex. I had never heard of this target before, but as, by the time the skies cleared, all my planned targets had sunk, I was left with galaxies I decided to give this one a go. Only managed to get just under 3 hours, compared to Alan's 18, so hoping to add to it next opportunity, but no chance from home. 2 hours 55 mins (of which 1 hour 40mins luminance) SWED120 & Atik428EX Baader filters LRGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x6gas Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Very pretty object Cara and I like the framing / image scale. You've pulled out some great detail for a relatively short integration time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Nicely captured Carole, got this on my list of galaxies for the 10"SCT also inspired by Alans. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carastro Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Should come out great on a 10" SCT. Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yes, this has come out well despite short data. Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carastro Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks Olly. Quote despite short data. Bane of my life Olly, Only go once a month to a dark location (if the weather plays ball). Impossible to do LRGB from home. Best I can do is 2 consecutive nights at camp if the sky plays ball, or two consecutive months on same target. Will never get those really long exposures that some get, best I have managed on "anything" is about 11 hours and that is using my dual rig.
