Ngc6188

Due to uncooperative weather I decided to utilise t12 telescope from iTelesope.Net to collect data for a wider filed around NGC6188.

Camera: SBIG STL-11000M
Optics: 106mm F5 refractor

Here is the result of combining 1.5hr of data through Halpha filter: http://www.astrobin.com/full/177429/0/

I was rather disappointed with the quality of data, in particular the stars are sub-standard.

Here is another image of the same DSO, but representing a narrower field, taken about a month ago with my modest gear. Acquisition was also 1.5hr: http://www.astrobin.com/full/171726/0/

Although an interesting experiment, collecting data remotely with some else's telescope did not seem to provide with the same satisfaction as tweaking with own scope.

I think for now I will stick to my own gear and will just need to wait for better weather on the weekends.
