Going Deep on Thackeray's Globules

[dylan_odonnell]

That doesn't sound quite right!

In any case, not very deep, but a little long at ~1480mm. Only 2m exposures taken tonight in Ha (90 mins total) + 30mins of RGB from RASA session a few weeks ago. Pretty quick and dirty!

The trade-off are the colour halos on the RGB layer which has to be upsampled to match the Ha resolution during registration. But it's a small sacrifice to turn around an image like this with only 2 hours total integration. The lepus focal reducer causes some minor coma on one edge.

Thanks! And yep.. these are the chicken's giblets!

Cheers Glen. Had unusually clear weather here in Byron last 3 nights the air was dead still which is really odd near the beach. I took a timelapse of the observatory and the trees are like statues. Sorta makes up for it after the last new moon was a write-off.
