NGC 55 An exercise against the elements.
Attached is an image of NGC55. Very dificult target last night with the wind blowing my dog off her chain.
I ended up with 5 x 10 minute images which were usable. I had to lower the pier to its lowest setting to try and keep the scopes below the walls and away from the wind. Then came the high level fine cloud which thickened and it was time to give up, pack up and go to bed.
Reasonably happy with the result but a few more subs would certainly have made a diference.
All images were calibrated with flats and bias frames. Images were calibrated and stacked in IP3 then manipulated with CS3.
Images shot with QHY8 cooled CCD and a Vixen VC200L at F6.4
