Very deep NGC 5128, 3 hours with cooled DSLR
Hi all
Heres a total of 3 hours on NGC 5128 under skies that were dark for Newcastle, just after the rain cleared
18x10 mins ISO 200, with the 6 inch f3.6 Schmidt Newtonian, uv/ir filtered. MPCC coma corrector. Had to do a "Meridian flip" 1/2 way through and rotate those images to stack with the others. masked the image to keep central detail. Houghys cooled DSLR sensor temp 1 degree. I was after the outer halo area. This would be the deepest astro image Ive ever taken.
