[MarsG76]

Hi All,

Sharing my result of the (UV/IR Cut) Luminance, H-alpha and OSC data of NGC1300 imaged between 2nd and the morning of 28th October 2021.

NGC 1300 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 61 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy is about 110,000 light-years across being about the half size of the Milky Way galaxy.

This image consists of a total of 53 x 600 second luminance subs, totalling 8 hours and 50 minutes of exposure time, 21 x 900 second H-alpha subs, 5 hours and 15 minutes of exposure time and the color data stack imaged with my astro modded and cooled Canon 40D consisting of 36x300s unfiltered exposures @ ISO1600, exposure time of 3 hours.
Total exposure time for this galaxy image was 17 hours and 5 minutes.

Equipment used was a C8 SCT at F10, QHY268M and a full spectrum modded and cooled Canon 40D DSLR cameras on a CGEM mount.

 

Clear Skies,

MG
