I got a great clear, cold dark night last week down here so decided to image NGC 3532 the wishing well cluster. This is a wonderful, star filled area of the constellation Carina, 1300 light years away.
I wanted to try the ASI2600 at gain 0.


I did have issues with my power. I run everything from my shed using 250w solar and 110AH battery.


Never had an issue before but now i have extra draw from the camera and a dew heater on guide scope.
Power lasted until midnight.


capture details as follows:
56 x 180s subs @ gain 0
Darks
Flats
Bias
Dark flats
captured using NINA
Stacked and processed using APP
Photoshop
Scope: Orion Eon 115mm
Zwo asi2600mc pro


One thing i am noticing with the asi2600 camera is that my images are more stable in processing. What i mean is that before, using my uncooled canon dslr, images were difficult to process. The image would easily get ruined by my attempts at any processing. With these images, i can get a decent looking image without ruining it. I am using Astro pixel processor where as before i was using Deep sky stacker and then straight into photoshop.



comments welcome


Thanks all
