NGC 300 3 hours.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

Been playing with this one for while, time to post it.
Most of the data was pretty average so it's taken a while to get it to this stage.

8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

Combination ISO 1600 & 800 5 & 10 minute subs, total 3 hours.

Stacked in DSS processed in Ps Cs2.

Cheers,

Justin.

Very nice Justin.

Nice shot Justin! Fits nicely in the F/4 field.

Great looking galaxy photo Justin.

You must be running out of objects to image!

Nice shot of a difficult object. I must admit for a brief second I got a bit of a shock as I read "NGC30 at 300 hours" :D Sometimes I can get a bit lisdexic. ;)

Thanks Louie!:thumbsup:



Thanks Rex!:thumbsup:

Look forward to you imaging NGC 300, it will be interesting to see the modded 1100d can bring out.



Thanks Ross!:thumbsup:

Sometimes it feels that way, but there's still lot's galaxies to be imaged and I need to revisit many DSO's as there's always room for improvement.:)



Thanks Kevin!:thumbsup:

Yep I know what you mean, I need to reread quite a lot more than I used to.



Thanks Laurie!:thumbsup:



Thanks Mike!:thumbsup:

I believe I left a few in the upper left hand corner.:D




Thanks Rick!:thumbsup:

Certainly faint, I'd love to see an NGC 300 from your set up.

Cheers,

Justin.

Hmmm.......I think i will add it to my list Justin. I am always looking for galaxies that are big enough to be a decent size in the f/4. May have to wait till next year though, things are warming up here pretty quickly so won't be long and the wet will be here.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Have you considered cooling, cooler box or cold finger?

Cooler box is ok but heavy and tricky to balance.

Cheers,

Justin.

[Rex]

Yeah I am actually getting all the bits together and doing some research so that this wet season, I can hopefully do a peltier cooling mod on it. Here's hoping!

Really Beautiful Justin :thumbsup:

nice work Justin - looks very "natural"

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hope it all comes together, for you Rex.



Thanks Jo!:thumbsup:
