MOON night RGB galaxy to tune up VOYAGER

[diegocolonnello (Diego)]

NGC 1232 Automatic imaging run by Voyager, testing all i can these MOON lit nights, i had to work hard to get rid of gradients and reflections caused by the MOON being up there peeking at my scope.... this is a target i want to do properly on a dark night, i wish i could move my observatory to a nice remote site!!!!!

BRAVE RGB test with a bright moon

26 x 120s Lum, RGB...... each...
AUTOMATIC FLATS

Diego, Diego, Diego...

You are certainly level with some of the "masters" I have used as benchmarks before, and with relatively humble equipment too!

Very tidy image....I wonder how Voyager would go with a tiny OAG field of view for gide star acquisition at a FL of 3400mm? Impressive level of automation regardless!

That's better than I can do on a Moon free night.

Great details in the spiral arms. Top shelf.
