Markarian’s Chain - Redcat 51

[mightymonoped]

Could only capture this for an hour last night as it was all my balcony would allow, but I had to have a go. 

30 x 120s subs with calibration
Unity gain (120) on ASI294 MC Pro
WO Redcat 51 with Optolong l-pro filter
Staradventurer tracking mount
ASIair pro for guiding and capture 

Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor
Processed in Photoshop CC

This is a 50% reduction of the full frame.

That looks great @mightymonoped  You've got to grab those chances when they come up.  Despite the FL, it's a lovely FOV above (fellow RedCat owner)

That's a wonderful image, I'd be very happy with that.

Thanks guys, I’m really enjoying the move from DSLR to dedicated astrocam. 
 

I may even get a chance to add another hour to this one tonight. Got to take advantage of the lack of Moon 🙂
