Its been cloudy almost every day for a couple of months, or the moon is up to wreck the rest.
So i thought i would try Itelescope with a scope in Nerpio spain.
Using a Planewave 17" F6.8 astrograph, with SBIG STL 11000M CCD i had enough points to take:
7x 120s each of R, B, G Binx2 and 31x 120s Lum Bin 1
I used their calibrated Fits files stacked in DSS, aligned in Registar and processed in PS.
Being a newby at this, i am quickly finding out how hard it is to process the final images. Spent several hours to get the attached image.
I am excited in that i managed to get a scope half way across the world to automatically find track and shoot a galaxy in the northern hemisphere.
But the quality of the raw images i would not day i was entirely happy with.
Nevertheless i thought i would share this with you. Happy to recieve comments or advice.
Cheers
John
