ngc2403 lumance * + some poor HA/RGB*

[MikeD]

First clear skies for me in ages last night :hello1:

NGC2403

31 @ 300 sec's through the 10" newt guided with my 80Ed

I also managed some red and blue but the scope was on a collision course with the pier after only 4 green subs so I hope to add some colour when I get some more green and some Ha.

Great to get out there again.

Ohhhh thats nice Mike , you certainly picked up some really good detail there , is this a hard one to get , cant say i have seen it before

[Whippy]

That looks great Mike, I was either going to do this or start on the M81/82 last night. Can't wait to see the colour .

You got me,

very nice image, and i hope you can get out and get the green and Ha data for it, cos i can't wait to see it finished

[Beyond_Vision]

Thats going to be a real sparkler when you get the rest of the data

We looked for this the other night both in an 8" Newt and an ED80 and could see nothing, thats a great capture

[MikeD]

Cheers guys.

It's not too bad Rog, there was a lot of moisture in the air last night so the LP was up high which made the faint stuff a challenge. The colour will be the real test though.

Good stuff so far, will be a cracker once you get your colour

[steppenwolf]

That's excellent, Mike - look forward to seeing some colour on it too.

Hi all.

Not great out there tonight with ever thickening mist, but I could see stars so went for some more green and some Ha.

worsening conditions lead to poor Ha data and no usable new green data this and the lack of total rgb data shows in the final image.

the image is now L-Ha/R-G-B

L 31 x 5 min's

Ha 10 x 4 min's bin x2

RB 10 x 2.5 min's bin x2

G 4 x 2.5 min's bin x2

No I haven't. I am waiting for a very good dark night to go for the RGB again on that, I even lugged the 10" and all the imaging kit out to a dark site but cloud made that a wasted effort.
