M10 Single Exposure

[Nigeyboy]

Hi all,

Been super busy with work recently, helping get 1700 pubs reopened to the eager public, so Astronomy has taken a back seat. I am however still signed up to use the Open University CoAST Telescope in Tenerife. 

I posted some pics in my blog a while back, but basically as part of a free online course the OU provides, you get to use this awesome scope. Its a 14" Celestron SCT on a 10Micron mount. Using a web portal you can log imaging requests, and when yours gets to the top of the queue, away it goes and takes your image.

Here is a single 150 second colour shot of Messier-10, taken a few nights ago under a quarter Moon:

Not bad detail for a single shot!

I have used the scope to capture quite a lot of data on M101 using different colour filters, and just need to work out how to combine them into a colour image!!

Cheers

Nige
