Sunflower Galaxy Asi294MC Pro

[Gerr]

Another galaxy imaged by my new camera last week - really starting to like this Zwo MC Pro.

The amount of data that can be extracted is a magnitude above to what I could do with my old DSLR (Canon 650D) before noise destroyed the details.

This galaxy took 3.75 hours (45x300secs) at 1x1binning, unity gain (120) and offset of 30 (camera defaults). Cooled to -10 degrees.

Heq5 Mount (Rowan modded).   SW200P Reflector and guided by Zwo 120mm mini coupled with 50mm refractor (APT controlled). IDAS LPS-P3 filter used.

Stacked in DSS with Darks, Flats & Dark Flats (20 of each). Then processed in Photoshop CS2.

I couldn't find my old DSLR version but I know this one to be much improved. Hope you like.
