LDN1235 - Shark WIP....

[fwm891]

Initially I though this was too close to the pole for me to see due to buildings but turns out it just clears the neighbours house roof so I spent a while on it last night. As always needs more subs. Just the head end shot and processed in PI and PS. Looks like Sat/Sun will be the next chance for more data. No calibration frames yet.

Thanks for looking

RASA 8, ASi533 (unity), CEM60, Baader UV/IR cut filter.

Great potential in that, the 533 looks like a great sensor.

Looks great so far.

not such an easy target....really nice work so far

Managed to get a few more subs last night before clouds moved in. I've tried to process a little more neutrally as well the original a little too warm.

Uncrpped, no noise reduction routines (for the pixel peepers).

Hope you like..

It’s starting to pop now Francis looks great so far, I’ve nearly got all the data I want on my first target with the 533, I’m on the deer lick galaxy and stephans quintet just made it into the frame I’m hoping the dither border doesn’t interfere with the quintet, I’m hoping to gather the rest of my subs tonight

Looks great Francis. It’s a popular target! Got a few subs myself last night or two.
