Hi all - I've been on holiday in SE Asia for last month, processing a backlog of images on my newly acquired Macbook Pro 14" 16CPU/40GPU (great laptop, it flies on Pixinsight).


I thought a month long PI immersion program would be a good exercise!


I've attached a few images taken with my RC6

1. 47 Tuc
2. Cat's Paw
3. Corona Australis
4. Eta C
5. NGC 253
6. NGC 1097
7. RCW 75


All the best
Doug

Thanks leon - looking forward to getting back into it when I bet back to Oz, especially the RC6...lot of potential in that scope I think.


Not making excuses (ok yes I am!), but those RC6 images posted really only have minimal LRGB data in them (apart from RCW75)...makes me wonder what I can pull out of a decent long imaging run?? :question:

Ooops sorry Nik, I'm such a slouch with details these days :)


All mono images...
ZWO 2600MM-Pro
Chroma 36mm SHO 3nm and LRGB filters
AstroTech RC6 and Askar FRA400 scopes
EQ6R-Pro mount


Please don't ask integration times - I saved projects as PI projects on my hard disc...for some reason actual integration times weren't saved in the FITS data :shrug:
