NGC 300 Ha :Now Annotated:

After seeing the version from Mike and Trish's last year I have been waiting for an opportunity to give this a crack myself. Finally did it last night! It was very breezy and Meteoblue was giving solid "Red" for seeing, I think the best I managed was 4.69" on one of my 1-2s exposures. When I started imaging it I was considering doing 2x2 binning but for whatever reason I decided to stick with unbinned (I'm an idiot!) so I have since down sampled 50%. I guess I didn't truly appreciate how how the seeing was until I checked the FWHM in CCDInspector this morning.

This is 13x900s Ha of NGC 300. I have hopeful plans of getting LRGB data at Snake Valley at the end of Sept, will probably ditch this data though as it is pretty terrible. Had to ditch 2 subs that were heavily wind effected, I am kinda surpirsed to get much of anything last night. If it was with my EQ6 I wouldn't have been able to do 60s exposures a lot of the time, the DDM60 is a LOT stiffer.

Very little has been done in the way of editing.
