Ngc 3324

No excuses but the conditions were far from ideal last night but I managed I little time on NGC 3324 also known as The Gabriela Mistral Nebula.
Again because of clouds took the short exposures and high gain approach both to get something but the repetition of the procedure must help when the perfect night comes... it is amazing the silly small mistakes I make..I always forget to connect the camera to the lappy and when I turn on sharp cap get the horrors because there is no camera..thats one that catches me so often..not completing details to record the different subs is another..but thru constant repetition I am getting better.

Thru the neat little 80mm with the zwo cooled cam on heq 5 unguided exposures from 1 to 2 minutes and gain from 300 to 400... which is way past what is acceptable but I am finding I can make this approach work.

Deep Sky Stacker, Star Tools, Photo Shop ...hope it is not too saturated.
