[Startrek (Martin)]

Captured a few objects last week under a near full moon with my trusty old 6” Newt probably for the last time as it’s being retired to make way for the new 8” Carbon fibre
NGC 3372 Carina Outer Arm Region near variable Star SAO 251080
IC 4628 Prawn Nebula

Both objects around 4 hours of data ea ( 85 x 3 min and 89 x 3 min dithered subs )
EQ6-R pro mount
ZWO2600MC cooled to -10C , Gain 101
Antlia ALPT OSC 5nm Dualband filter
EQMOD and Ascom Stellarium
APT
PHD2 Multistar guiding ( 0.50 to 0.65 arc sec total )
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.8
Linear data sets loaded via Compose
OSC Bi Colour SHO colour mapping
Added Synthetic Luminance version for fine detail viewing
Only managed 4 hours each which is not enough to improve SNR and bring out more fine outer detail especially with a OSC but it was a couple of enjoyable nights imaging just the same
Poor weather has now returned for a while , so cant complain, April and early May have been pretty good in Sydney

Comments welcome
Thanks
Martin
