The Clouds made me ....TMB serves up some Crab and Cones

[NickH]

Had a bizarre cloud bank which refused to budge overhead/Northish..so my NGC7635 SII will have to wait...

.so ended up pointing high and South, with the Crab and NGC2264 making nice "visit again" targets

6x8 mins on the Crab, and then 10x8 mins on the Cone. Crab is a crop...

TMB105/F6/Atik 314L no darks, flats and bias

Amazing stuff Nick

Rob - Yes...wild horses wouldn't part me with it (unless a 130-180 comes up). Need to adjust the guide settings to get it all a bit tighter, but hardly disappointed with basically only 40 mins on the Crab yielding that level of structure, and no darks.... gonna miss this camera when it goes, but hopefully it's going to a very good home..

Daz - it's the 314L...(as you know the 285 chipset...blindingly good)...aaagh talking myself out of selling it here..

Both are very nice images, Nick - I think the cloud did you a favour!

[NickH]

Just a start Steve, but thank you!

It was weird...the cloud literally sat over the NGC7635 area...and kind of refused to move (well a belt of it moved over that area)...

Very nice work Nick, nice subtle processing.

Mike.

[NickH]

Thanks Mike...that's the other side effect of this scope...subtlety works... need to learn subtle :-)
