Ngc7009

Hello all

Borrowed a friends new ASI224MC OSC planetary camera the other day & was keen to try & image Saturn over this weekend with it.

Unfortunately the clouds didn't clear from Melbourne until Saturn had well crossed the CM which is bad for me because of trees & neighbors - so I had a go at the next best thing - NGC7009 the Saturn Nebula.

Attached is a 100% scale crop from the original frame of approx 800 x 3sec images taken through a C11 + 2x barlow at about 0.2"/pixel.

Looks like a sensitive little cam. A bit of amp glow mostly disappeared with dark frames & I was surprised by the result.

...waiting for the real Saturn to appear .....

regards
Maurice
