Thackeray's Globules

[Peter Ward]

A surprise patch of clear sky last night resulted in this lazy 60 minutes H-alpha of data.

No darks or flats (errant hot pixels were removed with MaxIm) as the hour was late....(yes, *really* slack, but will fix this when time permits)

I was very happy with the camera's cooling -30C @ just 60% power, at an ambient temp around 27C.

That's quite impressive for a quick effort Peter. Great details and the globules themselves stand out well!

[RickS]

Very nice, Peter!

Nicely done. Subtle processing is the key isn't it. :)

[Peter Ward]

Subtle eh? Thanks. Gee I thought I'd hit it with a sledge hammer :)



Ta, but some SII and OII would help, one day...:cloudy::windy::rain:



Thanks, I rather like how the KAF8300 oversamples with the RH300...looks like it will be a great narrow field camera, as I was spoilt for guide-star choice.

Nice, Peter. I look forward to you adding data to it.:)

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Laurie... I don't suppose it's clear over your way? :)

[Peter.M]

This camera is looking very impressive indeed!

[Larryp]

No way-pouring down!:(

[Peter Ward]

Thankfully, you can take dark-frames even if it's raining....

Calibrated rather than filtered the data.

Much improved the result

NOW you're talking! :)

Cheers, Marcus

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Marcus. It's about 1/2 res, yes, I know...that's not 100% ...but suspect you got the gist :D

[marc4darkskies]

The STT 8300 is a nice match for the RH, that's for sure!! :thumbsup:

Great looking B&W photo Peter.

Love the contrast in the dust Peter. Very nice image. Looking forward to the updates.
