Hi.

This was taken this week over two nights due to constant cloud intrusion.

It was taken with my ED72 and Atik 314L+ ccd.

I took 18 luminance frames and 6 frames of RGB all of 600 secs.

I calibrated with bias and flat frames no darks.

 

Anyway thanks for looking.

Mick.

That's rather lovely, didn't understand there are so many nighbours. I started some subs on this last week but stopped as the smoke from our woodburner was always getting in the way. Guess the wife could go cold for a few nights.

Thanks Alan.

We have a wood burner too,so know the problem well.

As far as your wife is concerned i would certainly have a rethink !!!!!!!!

I think this is a challenging galaxy to image, especially capturing detail in the outer arms, but you have a lot there. ?
