Testing the RASA with the Asiair plus and trying various things.
I captured some Ha and O11 but a large number were showing oval stars..I cant work out why however it is a miserable day so I stacked the lot and fiddled in photoshop to get an idea of the potential. I did not do a cull so I could probably improve the star shapes.
As you can see the colour is perfect
I may perform a serious cull on the data but I want to get some other bands and try for a decent image...nevertheless I am happy so far notwithstanding the problems ...I find this is a very difficult object and so I was happy to get some detail..I hope it is detail and not artifacts..
Before I could close up the really heavy dew hit and the observatory is very wet so I am running a heater and mopping the floor as it was just so bad...it looked like a snow storm but lots of water unfortunately...I have given up worrying about the gear suffering ...Actually it would make me happy to see it fading faster than me.
I dont know if you can see in this image but the big one you could see a few small galaxies..I thought they were oval stars at first
