gorann Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Another short night of galaxy hunting with the Esprit 150 and ASI071(OSC). Managed to grab 30 x 10 min and 30 x 90 s, the latter to save the galaxy cores and large stars. I think it shows that a large refractor is an accomplished galaxy hunter even if I only got about 6 hours of data. The ASI 071 set at gain 200, offset 30, -15°C. Stacked in PI and processed mainly in PS. I also include a rotated crop that makes NGC5033 looks quite different. Interesting how the orientation of an image transforms the appearance of galaxies. Finally I include an annotated version made in PI. There is 38 galaxies in there, if I counted them right. Actually I can see quite a few faint fuzzies / galaxies in the image that are apparently not in the PGC catalogue and were not annotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see that urbandictionary.com says "It's a Hindi word popularized by Jamie Oliver. It literally means 'cooked', but when used in slang, it gives emphasis." So thanks again, I will try to produce more pukka images! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomato Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Very nice, the Esprit is ‘doing the business’, to coin another phrase, NGC 5033 is spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice image, btw. Have you decided on a finale for astroseason yet? Only one short month of lrgb imaging left before shopping season begins.

But it will involve galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
