IC 2944 Running Chicken under Full Moon South Coast NSW
Snagged a clear stable Saturday night on the South Coast and captured IC 2944 under a full moon
Best guiding numbers since I commissioned my NexDome back in March April ( 0.65 arc sec total )
Used the L Extreme filter due to a full moon lit night
NexDome Obs
8” f5 GSO Bintel newt
Skywatcher EQ6-R pro mount
Imaging Camera ZWOASI2600MC set in Ascom to Highest Dynamic Range cooled to -10C
L Extreme OSC NB filter
45 x 3minute dithered guided subs
Goto and Tracking EQMOD and Ascom Stellarium
Framed focused and captured in APT
PHD2 Multistar guiding
Subs reviewed in ASTAP
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.7 OSC linear data set
Due to my rigs FOV I can only frame the chickens body which has a majority of the detail anyway including Thackerays Globules
Synthetic Luminance version
RGB colour version
Comments welcome
Thanks
