A little bit of Ghost (IC63)

[AstroGS]

Managed to get a few hours of clear skies on Saturday and wanted to test the new semi-permanent garden Barlebach Planet tripod and I was happy to see that it is super rock solid. It improved my guiding significantly, achieving a consistent 0.45-0.65 through the whole session.

 

Managed just over 3 hours of data ( 20 x 600 sec) of the Ghost Nebula

50 each Bias, Darks and Flats

Used the Stellamira with 0.8 reducer/ flattener, 2600MC Pro, L-Pro on an AM5 mount, controlled by AsiAir+.

Integrated and processed with PI. Used Blur/Star/NoiseXterminator as well. I will get some more data over 5th next few weeks and add it on - it is a very interesting target indeed.

 

I am also sharing a cropped picture of a structure that seems to be a reflection of the γCAS bright star - thoughts?
