NGC1333 from Texas

[CCD-Freak]

There have seen several images of NGC1333 posted lately so I figured I would throw mine on the pile.   (^8

I got 10 hours of 2 minutes subs through a UV-IR filter using my ASI-533MCP camera.  The imaging scope is a Sharpstar 150mm F2.8 Hyper Newt riding on an AP900GTO mount. 

I imaged this over two nights from my Star Ranch Observatory (SRO) which has almost Bortle 1 skies.  I use Astro Art 8 for capture and processing.

I have decided I like imaging cosmic dust....... ( shootin dirty pictures ) (^8

Fabulous result.  I guess your Bortle 1 skies helped a lot, but also nice processing and kit.

Thanks Carole

The almost Bortle 1 skies do make a great deal of difference and I feel very fortunate to have the property even though it is a 200 mile drive (each way) to get there.   (^8
