The 3rd object I captured was one of my favourites, NGC4755 aka the Jewel Box.
I was aware it would look small in the field of view but I was keen to see how the colours that make it famous would come out.
Well .... the colours didn't work well at all. I had guesstimated that a 600 second exposure may be too much for this object, so I had a hunt around to see if I could find a way to change that setting.
Nope ..... I couldn't find a way to change the exposure time beforehand, and once you pick the target and press "submit" that seems to be that, it's all underway. The result here was somewhat overexposed and drained of colour.
Was there a way I could have changed this, or was it all totally "pre-programmed"?
Again I understand that this was a test of the overall system, how easy it is to comprehend and use, etc, and I am grateful of the chance to have captured ANY images at all, but I think that in the end what future users will want is a pleasing end result, not just the novelty of accessing such a system remotely, and so I mention the things that I believe other users will find lacking.
