Decided to finally do some astro image work after about 2 1/2 years lay off as I got heavily into straight nightscape and street photography.
Anyway I knew that I had a lot of data for NGC300 and started to muddle my way through Pixinsight which resulted in a complete melt down followed rapidly by a total brain fart. What a mess - but luckily Geoff Biggs became interested in it and gracefully wanted to massage the data for me.
What a difference when someone who knew what they were doing managed to get the data together and give it a good scrubing. Im fully indebted to Geoff for his patience and generous efforts to put this together.
Consisted of generally 1800 and 900 sec subs through a 5" apo refractor using SGP and a QSI583 on a modified EQ6 mount. LRGB data gathered and this year I hope to get the Ha data at Astrofest 2017. A total of about 10hr of data, all up as its quite faint and needs long subs.
There are between 30-40 small galaxies in the background if you are interested.
