Ngc 6188

[Rod771]

Hi everyone!

Probably should have shot this with hyperstar to get a wider field however I wanted to see if I could replicate the guiding results I got during my last outing at long FL. Not quite the same result this time, not having a permanent set up is probably an impediment.

This one is a tiny bit noisy due to LP. I usually image 20° either side the meridian when shooting at F7 (I dont have a LP filter for this set up) however this time I imaged from 35 ° above each horizon to increase the integration time.

Imaged with the C11 Edge HD with .7x focal reducer (1960mm FL) F7.
Mount - CGEM DX
Canon 60Da @ ISO 800


67x 240 sec subs for the field. Also shot 20 x 4 sec subs for the stars. Just under 4.5 hours in total.

Calibrated with darks and flats, processed in Pixinsight.

Nice to see it in RGB for a change and a very nice job too, Rod!

Thanks Mike and Russ! :)

I was surprised how much faint dust was picked up. A couple tricks in PI helped me reveal the detail.



Cheers Greg!



Thanks Rick! :) I actually did a search on Astrobin to get a colour reference but almost every image it found was NB, :lol:

Nice composition.

That's a cracker Rod, well done :thumbsup:

Love those long FL shots. Really cool. :thumbsup:

Thanks Ross! I' did try a couple of different crops to present a nicer composition but meant losing too much faint dust. Next time I'll get it right before acquisition.



Cheers Dunk! :)



Yeah more to come this winter, Marc. I might even man up and try a bright target at F10 2800mm FL :scared2:

Cheers! :)
