... very distant friends.

When I first starting processing this stack I was disappointed by the seemingly empty picture I got. It wasn't till up got up close to the pixel I realised there were a heap of faint galaxies in there too!

I'm pretty excited cause this is a bright sky I was imaging into.

I've attached the full frame shot, an annotated version and a crop.

There's just under an hour of images (I chucked out a bunch that weren't so sharp). 3 minute subs except for one lonely 4 minute sub. Flats and biases also.

AT65EDQ, Nikon D5100 at ISO800, IDAS LPF, HEQ5 Pro mounting.

Hope you like it. :)

I like em. :thumbsup:

Are you imaging these in 3/4 moonlight?

No this is from the 29th of Sept. Just hadn't gotten around to processing them. It's just light pollution sadly.
