M4 test LUM

[benklerk]

Last night I had some spare time until my main target got high enough. So I decided to image M4 at Gain 0 on the ZWO1600mm at 20sec. 150subs only.
No calibration done, just blur and noise.

Turned out pretty decent.

Nice dusty shot, I like it :thumbsup:...years ago, if you had said it was a little bit of a UK or Upsala Schmidt plate, I probably would have believed it :)

All my new gear has arrived. I just would like to finish up getting data on my last target before I have to take everything down. Tonight will be another clear night, so I should have enough data.

Good luck :thumbsup: oooh new equipment, exciting...I'm going up the mountain too, in the middle of a capture myself, plus a couple of astro mates, another mini star party :D

Whisky nebula and globular clusters. Lovely image Ben. Thanks for sharing :)

Hi Rodney,

Surprised I could get the faint reflection nebula also from just 20s subs. When I get organised with my setup. I might go back and do LRGB on it. But might do 30s subs instead of 20s.
