Markarian’s Chain

[PaulSthcoast]

After a very long period of clouded sky,
last night offered a chance to enjoy being out again.

There was a little high cloud, but the opportunity to
try to image was too good to not to take.

Unfortunately, soon after, the cloud rolled in once again.

Hi Paul.

Yes good to see some clear sky, last night I could image from 6PM to 5AM.

You have made a great start on a very feint and difficult target.

Good job :thumbsup:

Paul,
Nicely framed picking up the whole gammit of galaxy’s
A tad noisy but more data and Calibration frames would tidy up the field for you
Well done !!
Tonight and tomorrow night in the big smoke is clear but yet again dew forming early as it’s dead still
Cheers
Martin

top work with no guiding!.
Background is a bit high and blue though, IMO.

Great job on this capture. Nicely stretched and some nice colour. A little more integration to reduce noise and that satellite trail and you’ll have an even better image. Well done.

Thanks everyone for your comments and encouragement.

I was asked by a good freind......why ?

Esp such a small scope.

As Martin noticed...field of view and framing.

I kept the prossesing to a level where it didn't
begin to look like an image from guiding....

If that makes sense ?

We all have our own styles of prossesing,
mine tend to be on a more, 'translucent' natural
feel, but of course...that's not set in stone.

To each their own.

Thanks again.

Peter, you are right.

It's good to be back outside.

Paul.

I do like this one, so much happening in that one image, how small we really are on this Rock we call Earth, well done.
