Hi Folks again..
Well last friday night was a beauty as it cleared up just before moonset and stayed clear for many hours before low cloud started to roll in on twilight. Seeing was a but unsteady but that wasn`t going to stop me as clear nights are very rare up here lately!
I just concentrated on one target and this is it. NGC 5128. I have never got a very nice image of this so I am quiet happy with the result. My guiding seemed a bit off but maybe thats the seeing affecting PHD? with slightly oval stars.
Ok image is 14 x 7 min at iso 400 (I am starting to like 400!) with 6" f/5.6 newt and Canon 300D. Guided with Toucam and PHD. Stacked in DSS then finished of in PS. Also had my homemade peltier cooler attached to my camera too keep that noise at bay!
Anyways I am open to all comments..
cheers Gary
