astro mick Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi this was taken a couple of night ago.It is the Spiral Galaxy NGC2403 in Camelopardalis.This is nice and high in the sky at the moment,so i thought it would make a good target. It was taken using my ED80 and WO73 using an Atik 314L+ ccd. I took 18x600 secs for the Luminance. 12x600 secs in Ha. 9x600 secs in RGB. Fully calibrated with Darks/Flats and Bias frames. The Ha was blended into the Red channel using the Lighten blend. Cheers. Mick. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoflewis Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Great job Mick. As Rodd says, it really sparkles. I think I need to experiment blending Ha with red using lighten mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemuzz Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Very nice! A newbie question: when you say 9x600 RGB, does that mean 9x600 for each channel, or 3x600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro mick Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks Geoff. I took 9x600 subs for each of the RGB,SO 1.5hrs each. Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
