RASA Prawn Soup on the menu - IC4628 and NGC6231 in an hour and 36min

[h0ughy]

IC4628 and NGC6231 taken last night unguided with the RASA and ASI071. 30 sec and 60 sec shots. very roughly processed will redo later and the prawn may not be basted to taste for some, as i don't eat prawns the chefs discretion was used :rofl:

what surprised me the most was i didn't recognise it as it was way more deeper than i ever have imaged it before and this was my best effort back in 2010 (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=62332&highlight=prawn)

Lovely image Dave!

It’s a difficult one to do in RGB I’ve found, it just doesn’t have the colour variation of narrowband. Speaking of which, I’ve got some old data that I should revisit!

[h0ughy]

thanks

[h0ughy]

its the best i can do with me being the tool of photon destruction:lol: and OSC;)

[cometcatcher]

Your 2010 shot with the ED127 wasn't too bad either. The colours (processing) with the RASA seem a bit over-saturated by comparison?

[h0ughy]

Probably is

[multiweb]

That's ROI on photon collection right there. :lol: :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

That's a very good widefield vista with a lovely glob there.

Greg.

Nice work David and an interesting field with varying objects.

[Retrograde]

Nicely done David! Really liking all the background nebulosity you've managed to bring out.

[h0ughy]

Must be my thick pill day, ROI? Region of interest???

[h0ughy]

Ta Greg

[h0ughy]

That's what I thought when framing it. I am lazy though as I should have rotated the camera but I haven't so have been using the same flats for all images so far

[h0ughy]

For a OSC I am getting blown away with what I am getting in the city with this setup

[multiweb]

Return on investment. :)

[h0ughy]

That never happens, you can never justify that to the better half :lol::lol: There is 8k in that package

[multiweb]

How much is that in photons? :P

Another convert to "You don't really need dark skies (but it helps)". Its all about trying!

Stoofed if I can ever see a prawn, but I like your image Dave.

[h0ughy]

to be honest it should be the praying mantis

[atalas]

Nice work David....like to see a bigger image.

[h0ughy]

Don't have an off-site location but I can email if you wish

[batema]

Dave will that bad boy scope be coming to Astrofest?

[atalas]

Thanks David...want to get a closer look at what the scope is producing across the field mate :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

Oh you betcha :D

[h0ughy]

a couple of very large emails should be heading your way

[tornado33]

I think we will see some really deep images when he takes this beast to Astrofest!

[RickS]

That RASA has certainly made you prolific, H0ughy!

[h0ughy]

no just thick:lol:
