Sydney Bugs

[Peter Ward]

Yet another quickie. HD format to show some detail...

Looks a bit like my windscreen after the drive from Parkes to Sydney :)

The bug did get a bit of LR de-con, but oversampling gave a pretty good result.

Wow, that's some superb detail there... and with less than 2 hours exposure!

Looks better than mine. BTW it's NGC 6302.

Cheers

Very nice details and colors in that one. You've got the faint extensions and outer shell blues. Quite a feat from Heathcote. :thumbsup: You night have to piggy back this scope on Fred's rig at the AAO and give it a good dose of dark skies. It's getting sunburnt in the burbs.

Ta Steve... woops...:thanx: now fixed the typo.



It's actually quite bright... I had to take some shorter subs to avoid burn-out of the core.



Yep a dark site would be good. But no plans to move the observatory in the short term.... longer term :question: maybe

Nice detail, Peter :thumbsup:

A fine image as always Peter.

Did you have a guiding malfunction? - I notice a slight bump on all stars at around 11 O'clock or so.

Just a little more FL me thinks but otherwise a nice wide field shot.

Keen eyes!

I watched it happen, thinking. What the... ..yes, a cosmic ray right next to the guide centroid made things take a wander for a few seconds on one of the subs.
