NGC 3628

[Rodd]

I knew this one wouldn’t be finished, but  I have been up for 5 straight days, imaging this target from 2 am to 5:30 am each night.  It was torture. But I could not waste the clear sky.  It’s just RGB, about 10 hours. I’ll double the RGB and pile on the Lum over the next few months. No tail yet, which I am hoping to catch. I really want to portray this one bin 1, but it will take many nights of good seeing. The red channel was collected in decent seeing.  Blue and green not so much. I collected 10 sec subs to improve star color.

TOA 130 with .99x flattener and ASI 1600  120 sec and 10 sec subs

Bin 1 - it almost makes it

Great image already. Do you have a sky darkness that allows you to catch the tail?

Part of it is faintly visible in the stacks. I am  hoping to capture lots of lum.
