NGC 891 plus some little ones

[rich_t]

Hi, I was trying to image NGC7331 but was having trouble getting it on the CCD as the mount had meridian flipped since I did the 2 star align and it was too late at night! I decided to switch to NGC891 and get started before the clouds came in!

The Lum was taken Friday night in a 2 hour clear path and the RGB was taken last night. After stacking the frames the stars were elongated diagonally but I managed to fix this with the max entropy filter in Astro Art, so well pleased about that.

Exposure was 1hr 40min L and 32min per RGB binned and taken with my LX90/EQ6 and H9 camera.

There's a nice first light picture of this from Large Binocular Telescope ( http://lbtwww.arcetri.astro.it/FL/WB/n891_1280x1024.jpg ) so thought I'd give the mono inverse a go!

Anyhow, that's enough of my rambling!

Thanks for looking,

Rich.

Looked at the contrast again and given it a bit of a boost, think this is better now?

Cheers,

Rich.

That's alot better Rich, there's a nice orange glow coming from the core, loads of faint fuzzies in the inverted version as well.
