First Attempt at a Galaxy - NGC 5239 Southern Pinwheel
This is my first attempt at a galaxy
NGC 5236 Southern Pinwheel Galaxy
Moon was still up at around 15 deg when I started at 12.30am so the first 10 or so subs had heaps of moon light. Finished imaging subs around 3.30am , set my darks and went to bed
40 x 3 minute subs
10 x 4 minute subs
20 x darks
ISO 800
PHD2 guiding ( 1.00 to 1.40 arc sec error )
Canon 600D stock ( sensor temp was 32 deg still very warm )
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
Can’t wait to image this galaxy again at the next dark and a cooler night to give the DSLR a chance
Cheers
