Hi everyone. If you live in SEQLD ... how good was the 2 week-ish stretch of reasonably clear skies we recently enjoyed
Pity about the jetstream that made the atmosphere particularly messy on most nights, but we takes what we can get :-) In that time, I made a simple 2 panel mosaic of NGC6188, the mighty (Fighting) Dragons of Ara, with my SW120ED. Just for something different, I processed the data to make it 'dramatic' and befitting of the DSO's name. It's certainly more in-your-face than my previous more subtle attempts with different scopes. I do however like the end result but it's guaranteed to not be everyone's taste - sharing for fun. There is one boo boo (a purple star lol) that I'll fix at some stage.
SW120ED, ASI294MC, AOG/ASI290MM, Antlia RGB Ultra, Antlia Ha-Oiii, Antlia Hb-Sii, APP, PI, PS. Per panel: about 2hrs RGB, and 9Hrs Ha-Oiii and Hb-Sii respectively. APP used to split NB from BB data. All data combined/edited in PI.
Very large hires
here since the forum murders uploaded images. As always, Thanks for looking. Alex
