M8 Lagoon under the Moon
Took some recent advice in regards to integration time and captured M8 over a couple of nights under Sydney’s LP and a 50 to 70% waxing Moon. Used my little 6” newt again.
Bortle 7/8
6” f6 Bintel GSO Newt
Skywatcher EQ6-R pro mount
ZWOASI2600MC cooled to -10C , Gain 100 LRN
Optolong L Extreme filter
TS GPU coma corrector
125 x 3 min dithered guided subs
40 x Flats
60 x Bias
EQMOD, Stellarium and APT
PHD2 Multistar guiding ( 0.55 to 0.65 arc sec total )
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.7 Compose OSC Bi Colour NB
SHO matrix versions
Synthetic Luminance version
Final noise reduction was only 4 pixels which was really nice to see considering LP and Moon. Hours and hours of good data certainly does the trick
Comments welcome
Thanks
