Haven't done any imaging for a while so here is a humble offering from a few nights ago.

200mm F5 Newt, EQ6 Pro, ST2000XCM, Baader MPCC + UV/IR

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !

Hi Steve - a nice glob and open cluster, well done.:thumbsup:
I think that the galaxy could do with some more data though - IMHO.

Any details on the exposure times used on these images?

Thanks Browndog I agree about M104 needing more data it suffers bad light polution from a relatively close industrial area to my east as well plus moon rising. What can I say !

ngc4755 - 20x15sec
ngc5139 - 30x20sec
m104 - 30x20sec

I had a pretty crappy polar alignment so exposures were short. I used track and accumulate mode in CCDOps to image them and it's a bit like DeepSkyStacker.

Thanks Ric !

I like the Jewelbox image the best :thumbsup:

I hate the red text though. Buggers up my eyes trying to read it!!!!
