NGC 5139 attempt with 80mm

[Gem]

Hi all

While waiting for some parts to fix some weight/balance issues, I thought I'd give imaging with the cheap 80mm guide scope a go.

14 x 30 second images.
22 x 30 second dark frames
28 x 0.001 second bias frames

80mm f/5 refractor using ATIK 320E camera. Stacked with AstroArt.
Manually guided! (old school!) :)

Nice work Grant

The globular looks good and well resolved.

Cheers

Thanks Ric. The 80mm cost me only 70 pounds in London back in 2009, so it ain't the best.
I am just happy I have sorted out the colour issues. Seems ATIK and AstroArt go together better than ATIK and DSS.
