NGC1398 in Fornax
While testing out some guiding equipment I thought I would image NGC1398 in Fornax as it has a bright core and faint arms and had not previously imaged this properly (previously done with a DSI) .
I imaged when the moon was almost full but captured 12x10min subs with a 10" Meade SCT at f10 with QSI583wsg. Just managed to beat the cloud and rain thats set in now.
Originally I stacked with the usual DSS but found that it smeared the faint arms of this galaxy almost to nothing so I went back and re-processed with Nebulosity which gave a far better image. I did only levels and curves with PS3 and a slight sharpen on the image and was surprised how well it turned out.
Comments welcomed
