Hi Folks,
Been a little while since I last posted due to all this bad weather but earlier this week we had some lovely nights which I took full advantage off.
I tried imaging this on Tuesday but the circuit breaker kept on tripping after one or two exposures and after the 3rd time I was getting frustrated! Found a nice lot of black ants in the powerpoint. Some surface spray soon fixed them good
Next night all went well and kept imaging even when the moon had risen.
Image is 16 x 7min with my 6" newt and modded Canon 300d.
Stacked in DSS and finished in PS.
I was just after the little Galaxy NGC 1808 but on looking at a few framing shots I noticed the smaller spiral to the left top so adjusted the framing to get them nicely framed..Overall quiet happy with it only wishing it was cooler hence less noise and more detail! These Galaxies are rather small in my 6" scope!
All comments most welcome!..
More posts to come as long as internet connection keeps working!
cheers Gary
