Evening everyone...

Following on from my previous thread....I took some time tonight, and avoided going outside to work on the data I acquired over the first night of trying AP.

Setup:

Mount: Ioptron CEM25P

Scope: Sky-Watcher 80ED

Camera: ZWO ASI 294MC Pro charger was blown, so could not cool the sensor)

NO GUIDING, yet...

No filters

No calibration frames.

Software:

Acquisition with Astrophotography Tool

Stacking with DeepSkyStacker

Very light processing in GIMP, just color levels stretch

 

Please be gentle....I am fully aware they are very newbie pics, especially the Cat's Eye Nebula. Did not recognise how small it is!!!

Please advise what are those 2 beautiful galaxies? I forgot what the target was.

 

I am over the moon!!

 

M13

10 subs x 10 seconds + 6 subs x 15 seconds

 

 

M57 The Ring Nebula

13 subs x 15 seconds

 

 

 

Cat's Eye Nebula embarrassing, I know...

25 subs x 20 seconds

 

 

A Beautiful Galaxy. Please advise what this is? I forgot what I chose that night!!
