NGC6992 in OIII

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Last night effort, this is a salvage as the laptop was in bits (metaphorically) so I couldn't get the focus spot on.

Nikon D50 on Celestron 80 f/5 on HEQ5

4 subs at 300 seconds Registaxed and mucked about with in PS CS2.

That's a good image CC, I would be pleased with that. 8)

I'm still learning the terminology but I assume that - '4 subs at 300secs' means 4 images with a combined time of 300secs - not 4 at 300secs apiece ?. ( 300 secs apiece would be going some for an unguided HEQ5! )

Hi MD

I am sure he means 4 subs @ 300 seconds each thats only 5 mins each and looks to be just

right for the little amount of trailing in this image.

Nice one CC

Nice image, CC! Almost looks like you could have captured the other half at this image scale. Very nice!

No 300 seconds each. 5 minutes per frame. They are quite good these HEQ5 thingys if you are lucky enough to get Polaris right in the middle of the little circle.

At 75 seconds each there's nothing on the camera at all, even without a narrowband filter.

I would have if I'd had the laptop to find out if there was anything in the image and which way to rotate the camera / slew the mount. Now that shouldn't happen anymore (see Workbench). There's always another time.
