Three of the Grus Quartet
Another night, an extra galaxy, a different ‘scope and worse transparency! There was a heavy smell of burn off which was probably the cause of the milky appearance of the skies, especially when illuminated by the gibbous moon.
For this image of 3 of the quartet, I used the Vixen 102mm f9 ‘scope (918mm fl) with the ST7E parallel SBIG CCD Camera.
Exposures were 12 x 10 mins. Darks, Flats and Combine performed in MIRA AP. Curves and sharpen performed in CS3. Not there yet, but a useful session in terms of experience.
Cheers
Dennis
