Planets and M27

[Stub Mandrel]

Last night I did some imaging of Jupiter and Saturn, although I find the 'observation' on the laptop equally rewarding. Good views of both planets and their moons, including three of Saturn's moons.

Finished off with a test on M27 doing 15 second exposures  -I have tried this before but wanted to practice in the hope of doing a demo on Friday night. The blue parts were very obvious.

I saved a 44 frame stack as a FITS in Sharpcap, and processed with a fairly basic stretch, balance curves and denoise. All unguided. I can't see any conflict between EEA and imaging when you are doing it this way.

A wonderful image, well done. Des

Next galaxy season I think I might do some 'galaxy hunting' with the ASI120MC - and fitting cooling to it.

Live stacking alongside collecting imaging data kills two birds with one stone!

That's really good Neil. Look forward to seeing that on Friday night! 😁
