Hi,

It was a lot cooler this morning, and with the cooler box for the camera I managed to get 2 hours and 8 minutes of data for IC 2944.

Quite pleased with the way it's turned out, considerably less noise than prevoius images.

This image is cropped.


8" f/4 astrograph, orion (http://www.astronomyforum.net/wiki/Orion) mini guider, HEQ Pro 5 mount.

Unmodded canon 1100D baader coma corrector.

8 minute subs at iso 800, total 2 hours 8 minuts, darks frames, flats and bias frames applied.
Median stack in DSS (http://www.astronomyforum.net/wiki/DSS), processed in PS (http://www.astronomyforum.net/wiki/PS) 7.
Cropped image.

Cheers,

Justin.

I haven't tried it yet, Justin. The weather has been overcast so much in Sydney, and on the few clear nights I've been tied up with something else:(

Nice pic Justin! Amazing amount of nebulosity going there for an unmodded camera.

The 8" F/4 with MPCC looks like a nice combo too.

Cheers,
Cam

Yet another nice image Justin! You must be having a good run with the weather in Penwortham, or is it the norm there?

Thanks David!

Yes been blessed with cloud free skies for a while now. It's usually pretty good from mid summer to mid autumn.

Cheers,

Justin.
