LDN 1228 - dark nebulosity with the RASA 8

[gorann]

This is an area in Cepheus from last night with the RASA 8 and ASI 2600MC (OSC). SQM showed 21.25 at midningt so it is not superdark up here yet and the nights are short.

Only 45 x 3 min (gain 100), so just over two hours on a rather faint object that demanded quite a bit of stretching, so for the first time I needed a bit of NR for the ASI2600 data.

Stacked in PI and peocessed in PS.

Thanks Mark!

Looked a bit dark and glomy so here is a brighter version.

I can see that more data would not hurt so if the sky stays clear tonight I know what to do......

Just keep adding data and the lovely browns will show up!

Yes, that is exactly what I will do Maurice  - just had a power-nap so I can stay up until it is done!

The night looked promising by naked eye but going through the new subs of LDB1228 this morning only left 12 x 4 min min without obscuring high clouds. Will see what it contributes. Maybe a target for next lunar cycle.
