Hi Guys,well last night was certainly interesting, as for the first time I had decided to continue imaging from where I had left off the night before.
I had heard that others do this on a regular bases, so why not give this a go, I thought.
Previously I had taken 20 frames of the Rosette which I posted yesterday, the mount was shut down, and all stayed as it was until last night, mind you I had never tried this before.
Anyway I fired it up again, asked Gemini to do a warm restart, meaning that it would use the previous nights information, and continue from there.
After it had done its normal pre checks it asked, "well what do you want me to do", (well not really in those terms,) so I entered in NGC 2237, as I had done the previous night, and away it went.
I was absolutely gob smacked when it landed on the exact guide star from the previous night,
so I just calibrated PHD again, on that star, and it imaged the exact same spot for the rest of the night.
So this is collection of two nights imaging combined into one, 20 from the earlier run, and 17 more from last night.
The image you now see consists of, 37 sub frames @ 7 mins @ 400 ISO, with the Tak, and Modded 5D, on the G11, auto guided, flats and ICNR, and processed in Image Plus, and CS2.
The first image is with the added 17 frames, (making 37 sub frames) and the second is the one i posted with 20 frames
Please feel free to comment either way, hope it is to your liking.
