NGC 253 hybrid

Hi all,

This is combined data from a SkyWatcher Esprit 100ED with ASI1600MM-Pro camera (my backyard) and a Planewave CDK 431mm with FLI Proline 16803 camera (Siding Spring via iTelescope.net). The CDK data is as yet incomplete as I haven't been able to log on to complete green and blue runs. So far this is:

Esprit 100ED + ZWO ASI1600mm-Pro
  • L 26x 120s
  • R 12x 120s
  • G 12x 120s
  • B 12x 120s

CDK 431mm + FLI Proline 16803
  • L 20x 120s
  • R 10x 120s
  • G 8x 120s

I wasn't sure how the combine would go with the Skywatcher images at 1.409 arcsec/pixel and the Planewave images at 0.643 arcsec/pixel. It seems to have worked though taking advantage of the spatial resolution of the Planewave combined with the contrast and colour of the Esprit.

A higher resolution image is on astrobin.
