M63 - mono

[paulobao]

Hi all,

finally a little good weather here in portugal (I said good weather not good "clime"...those politicians we have are really "#$%&).

Made last 8/9 th April with:

C9.25 @ 1466mm + QSI532WS-M1 + G11 Gemini

Clear filter used for 24x 10 min.

Even so (no clouds) the humidity at 3 am was 93% at my observatory with a foggy C9.25 front meniscus (despite the dew heater at max power!)

Regards,

paulo

thats a very special shot...worth getting some colour

[paulobao]

Thanks Peter.

Here the color (?) I got with 4x10 min RGB at bin1. Not very pleasant but it's all I have for now.

Regards,

Very nice deep image with sharp detail to the core.

A little clipped at the black point around the bottom edge?

Flats fault (I did not "made" them well and got a mess!)

Hey Paulo!

As usual a great shot, deep sky in HD from that C 9.25

Keep up your great work mate!

P.S. Never mind the financial crisis, at least we have astronomy to distract our minds...

[paulobao]

Thanks for seeing it and for the kind comments.

Yes Luis you right, we still have the sky for free :-). About that (crisis!), and since we have to make same sacrifices, it would be great that they cut off the street's light to say..50% from 0 am to 5 am!

Cheers,

paulo

Very nice! The mono image is my fave, it seems to have more detail. I can pick out more background galaxies in it that I can the colour. Or is it just me?

[NickK]

excellent detail

[Beyond_Vision]

Amazing detail Paulo, I really like it
