Hi Folks,
Had some nice weather this way late last week and into the weekend.
Decided to try my hand at a few Galaxies in Sculptor and ended up doing NGC 300 and the smaller NGC 7793.
As I remember NGC 300 was a tough one being large and so faint so I wasn`t sure as to what I would finish up with and NGC 7793 being only around 9 arc min across but a little brighter..
NGC 300 came to a total of just over 2-1/2 hours while NGC 7793 was 2 hours total. Both at Iso 800 and 7 and 6 min respectivly with my Modded Canon 20D and 6" newt.
The nights were much warmer so noise reduction was applied on both images.
Overall quiet happy with both images but maybe a little too much noise reduction with the 7793 shot?
Both images scaled and cropped for the posting.
cheers and thanks for looking....
and like always any comments appreciated!
Gary
