Talking Snake Valley AC Images

Here are a couple of images I managed to squeeze in between the clouds this year at Snake Valley.
1. NGC 1365. A compilation of 8 X 15 minute exposures calibrated with Flats and Bias files. This image was taken on the last night which ended up being the best night by far. A little high cloud proved to be a bother but I was quite happy with the end result.

2. NGC 253. A compiation of 4 X 10 minute exposures calibrated with Flats and Bias files. A few more exposures would have improved the depth of this shot but the sky on the second night was not very ffreindly and I was lucky to get these.

Both images were taken at Prime focus with Vixen VC200L at F9 with QHY8. Guided with a QHY5 through my Takahshi FS102 using PHD Guiding.

Flats were taken using the EL sheet and it worked like a dream. Wonderful purchase.
