Eye in the sky

[centroid]

A last 'shot' before I head off to Lucksall (SGL4) in the morning

For the first six subs, the sky was 'gin clear', and as the following 9 subs came in, I could see the contrast falling away, as the sky clarity degraded.

I guess it must have been a bit of haze creeping in, as I could a significant increase in sky glow, from Ipswich, to the north of me.

However, 'waste not, want not', so I stacked all 15 subs, and the result was better than I expected, albeit if the sky had stayed as it was for subs 1 to 6, it would have been a lot better.

12" LX200R at f/7, and 15x300s subs with the SXVF-H9C.

For all those that are going to SGL4,

See you there

I was actually looking at this last night at our April Astro society meeting. You're right, the seeing was poor later on.

Safe and pleasent journey - see you Friday.

One of the best M64 shots I've seen Dave.

The dark dusy area that give it it's name is very visible here.

Great job mate.
