NGC 300 on a warm night
Final Image NGC 300 captured at my weekender ending a great week imaging galaxies with clear skies and good seeing
Unfortunately this night was quite warm at around 21 degrees and the DSLR even with cooling fan was reading 26 to 27 degrees ( not ideal for 5 minute subs ) Anyway managed to massage ,remove and hide quite amount of noise during processing in Startools, I don’t know what I would without this great software
8” f5 Bintel GSO newt in an EQ6-R Mount
24 x 5 minute dithered guided subs
20 x darks
Canon 600D with Baader coma corrector
ISO 800
Goto and tracking with EQMOD, Stellarium Scope and Stellarium
Capture software BYEOS
PHD2 guiding at 0.70 to 0.80 arc sec error ( guiding was running extremely well , this low to mid end mount is a winner considering my payload )
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools ( noise exterminator)
Final image still has a bit background noise but considering using a DSLR on a warmish night with long subs I’m fairly happy with the outcome
Thanks for looking , comments always welcome
