Three on a hot night

[fwm891]

Couldn't sleep so went out to play...

Started on comet C2017 K2 (Panstarrs) Baader UV/IR filter, small faff with this as SGP kept wanting it framed differently so I ended up framing it as I wanted then saving a set of Frame and Focus 30sec subs (x17) to disc.

Then took a few subs of M27 (7x 120s + 2x 300s with Baader UV/IR cut filter) and NGC6888 (5x 600s with IDAS NBZ filter) before calling it a night at about 2.15.

Scope: TS 8inch RC @ f8

Camera: ASI533 gain 100, -12°C

Mount iOptron CEM60 (non EC).

Processing entirely in PI.

probably the best thing to do last night, nice images for such short exposures.

Nice images Francis.

Yes,  my Atik 414 was showing  +25'C  on APT last night.    Normally I can get it down to -15'C on the cooling Delta....but not last night...only got it to -12'C and got an attack of the moths with the laptop screen.

Tried a process in Photoshop CS3 on M27  as a comparison
