More faint fuzzies

[kinetic]

Hi,

Late night last night, first go at M104 Sombrero Galaxy and Centaurus A radio Galaxy
with the new scope and new camera.
Again, more excuses....windy, high cloud, stars not that sharp,
dark frames leaving artifacts...but a promising indication of what I can
get if I eliminate all these things.

Hi Steve,
Nice images mate! Captured well.
Who said you can have clear skies? Can you send some to the East coast?

Great work
Paul

Hi Steve. The images are coming along very well. Lookout when we finally get some weather conducive to good imaging.

I have taken the liberty of just removing the dark frame artifacts from your images. Hope you dont mind.

Good stuff, Steve :thumbsup:

Well done considering the conditions and how bright the moon was last night, coming along nicely.

Cheers

You're beating me in the galaxy capturing game thats for sure.... about 2 months ago I trusted my GOTO and ran 10x10 min subs of NGC253... Missed.. No galaxy present!! lol..

These look really nice considering the conditions, and you're definitely on your way!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
It's quite a workload with a mono camera and RGB filters.
And that's before you even get to process them ! :)

Thanks Doug for the artifact tweak.
I think I know what's causing that one bad spot now.
(there are others but not quite as prominent as that)

Every night I get to image now is such a pleasure.
With the DSI, things are so much easier. No glitches,
no on again/off again nights like with webcams, just
pure stability.

Hardly award winning Pic Of The Week stuff I'm getting,
but when you consistently get a best ever,
night after night it's immensely satisfying.

I must have said to myself and others a dozen times lately, why
the heck did I spend 8 years messing with modded webcams!

A good start Steve, I think you've done really well capturing galaxies on a moonlit night.

I'm looking forward to seeing more.
