Corona Australis short and sweet.

This image is my first for what seems like a lifetime.
It is a very short exposure list of 40 minutes each LRGB taken on the first night after BSG where the weather made imaging something like underwater photography.
This image was a dificult image with water dripping off everything in my observatory, thank god for dew heaters.

I have posted this image with the firm hope that I will be able to capture a bit more exposure of this beautiful target.

Telescope: Takahashi FSQ 106ED at f5
Camera: Atik 11002M Mono camera at -20 degrees with Baader LRGB filters.
Exposures: 40minutes of each LRGB in 10 minute exposures.

Nice one. I like the colour variation across the iamge. THe dust looks nice and "upfront"

Great image for such challenging conditions Doug :)

[Hagar]

Thanks for the kind comments. Nothing more to add tonight due to high cloud settling over the valley.

Very nice Doug. Great field of view. Colours look nice too. Maybe jsut one thing to check is what appears to be either slight field rotation in the to left corners or some form of tilt going on. It may well be stacking too.

I like the large version.

[Hagar]

Thanks



Thanks Paul, Still coming to terms with CCDStack and it's many ways of doing things so I am inclined to think it is a stacking aberation. My eyesight, not being as good as it could be, lets me miss little imperfections like this.
The weather has been less than friendly so I haven't been able to add to this one yet. Soon hopefully.

Excellent framing, just keep adding data when you can and go progressively deeper. Great star colours too.
