Ngc 2442 now in colour

[richardo]

Well tonight was clear... albeit windy.
Maybe some one must have heard my loud winging:)

As Mike pointed out, gradients were an issue but managed to flatten out the back ground with a bit of PixInsights extraction routine.
Gotta fix the light leak!

Could have used heaps more data as usual and not to mention a larger format camera, but I have what I have.. at least I'm able to get out and image so I'll shut up now!

Thanks Mike, Hagar, Kev and Martin for your kind comments.
And thanks for the comments on my website.

Almost thought I had another night out last night, but alas, it was one of those sucker skies.
Such is life.

All the best to you all for now.
Hope your able to get out.

Great shot mate. :) Love your observatory. Very clever. :thumbsup:

Thanks Marc,
could have done with a larger RWT as at times when things go wrong, it can get a little tight... but usually I set up on a target and go inside to remote control things... very handy on those cold nights.


All the best:thumbsup:
