markarian's chain

[alacant]

Hi everyone

Easter weekend, so everyone stole borrowed the decent telescopes to image galaxies. I ended up with a miserable short refractor, Perfect for galaxy season!

So, 3 1/2 hours later, it gets you to 03:00, still with 3 hours of darkness. Couldn't find anything worthwhile to fill in 3 hours, so just got EKOS to park and shut down. Of course the sensible thing to do is (would have been?) to just continue and almost certainly lose more of the noise. Didn't think of that until I awoke this morning. Very much a DUH moment.

Thanks for looking and do post if you've had a go at this with a dslr.

That's a great attempt and something to add to my list... although I may save for later when I have a longer FL scope and do a mosaic of it...well if the clouds and seeing improve anyway

I like that! Unfortunately nothing in my arsenal will deliver Markarian's Chain. It would need a 50 frame mosaic!
