NGC2070 second light from Coondle

Hi All

I lugged the gear out to the slabs again last night because the skies were nice and clear and dark. I did another run on the Tarantula and friends and this is the result. I feel my processing is a bit harsh on this version but I also feel it is a marked improvement on the previous night's rushed effort. I intend to keep working on the data and see if I can come up with a better version at a later date.

I hope you like this one for now.



p.s. I also did about an hour on Eta Carinae .... still working on it !

details :

9x360 sec plus 1x1200 sec exposures ( Total 1 hour 14 mins )

WO FLT110 F7 Triplet Apo with WO 4" TMB field flattener
SBIG ST2000XCM @ -13 degrees_ NO FILTERS_ self guided with CCDOPS v.5
