What do you think this is

[Shawn]

Taken 2 minutes ago,,,in the vicinity of NGC 3372,,Its not on any of my charts...

:shrug:

[Shawn]

Yeah I know focus is off..I was drifting the rig...:P. at 3.5 meter..with a DSI...

[madtuna]

C 2008/shawn1 ?
:D

[Shawn]

Heres hoping... get your gear out guys, gimme a follow up..I reckon its about mag 10 , just a smidge to the east of 3372 ...

[Dennis]

Hey Shawn

Can you provide RA and DEC coordinates for the field and an approx FOV so I can look it up in The Sky Pro 6?

Cheers

Dennis

[Shawn]

My Goto was off I was aiming at a couple of faint stars just outside of 3372.

for drifting puposes, when I imaged this, my clock was slow by about 30 seconds.. so the LX would report to be a little further west... DEC is spot on..I can find it again...FOV ,,,, would be "a DSI on the back of a 14R...not much" :shrug:

I could help if the rain would stop.
Its forecast to continue all week here.:(

Good luck.

[Shawn]

3372 was low on the horizon when I shot this pic..Shes toast now... hope the weather clears for ya... tis a close to dusk target...:(

Hmm, A DSI on a 14” F10 SCT is around 3.6 x 4.8 arc mins.

[Shawn]

Thanks Dennis, "not much" a complete fluke.. but the alignment is fine...:D

[theodog]

3372 is eta car neb -That should be as high as it gets approx. I have it at Alt 33.3 now.:shrug:
When did you shoot this???

[Shawn]

Just after 9 pm..and 3372 is just approaching the the bottom shutter of the dome.. Low for me.. Ill have another shot at it tonite and pinpiont its exact location..

[Shawn]

Best I can figure right now its in this area...

I'll go for PK288+01, Hoffleit 38, Planetary Nebula, possibly. It's in the general right location.
