yes.. it is 5:34am and i pulled another overnighter. It's freezing in melb right now..I hate it when it's public holiday as it tempts me doing these knowing i don't need to work the next day.
anyway, here's NGC3576 nebula very close to ETA. I don't know why not many ppl image this object but i recalled seeing strongman mike's image in sky & telescope thats how i got to know it.
consist of 10 x 5 minutes at ISO400 with the 300D modded. I'm not yet use to the modified camera effect and the processing side of things as i was overly too use to my 350d unmodded. although i think it takes much less effort to process images taken with the modified 300d. Darks/flats subtracted.
Taken through the Celestron NGT-10 guided with Orion ED80 + Meade DSI II.
bigger version will be up on my website shortly... You can view a comparison taken with the unmodified 350D here:
