mdstuart Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Good morningHere is an image I shot of NGC 2841 using the global rent a scope telescopes in New Mexico. Its a 300 sec luminance preview jpeg.I now plan to stack and process the three 300 sec lums and the RGB 180 sec exposures to see what I come up with. I will use IRIS and GIMP!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdstuart Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 OK no responses..here is the improved luminance version..I think i can see some remote galaxies or are they artifacts?Still to stack bgr but IRIS is playing games with me.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrokat Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 had a play bud could do with more data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanParle Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not bad Mark, I'm looking forward to seeing the LRGB version.If you are finding Iris hard work, I suggest you have a talk with Simon next time you see him at BAS, he uses Iris to process the data from the Faulkes telescope, and has had some nice results.

mdstuart Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Updated image processed by astrokat!NGC 2841 is a very delicate spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms. This galaxy is estimated to be 130,000 light years across (the Milky way is 100,000) and around 31 million light years away. Even in this relatively deep exposure the colors are rather muted due to the faintness of the galaxy. This galaxy has also had a history of supernovae explosions within it. Enjoy!Needs more data...
