Two good nights with the usual eating, drinking and singing (remember to watch The Feed on SBS Mon 3 Oct 7:30
), even if one was cut short by some early morning cloud and the other by low battery power
Taking the week off work has already paid dirt
NGC 300 really is a beautiful galaxy but can seem rather plain looking with standard LRGB processing, so I have used 2hrs of Halpha (Magenta Red patches) and 1 hr of OIII (Teal Green patches) to enhance and highlight the extensive star forming regions across the galaxy, there are just so many, they are pock marked right along the arms
. Funny how the big star birth areas are in closer to the core.
Seeing was "ok" but not great, like it has been lately...but lot's of background galaxies still
