Hi everyone,
Had some very strange weather up this way lately. Everything from poor hazy conditions to some rather nice seeing and transparency. This was taken 2 days ago with the later and even with the moon in the sky, the MW was still bright and visible!
Image is of one of my favorites, M104 and after seeing Rich`s image I had to capture it again with my latest setup before I have to pack up the gear for storage. Image is 20 x 5 min with 5 DF and 8 flats and like usual stacking and calibration done in DSS and then finished of in PS CS. Slightly upscaled from original size so you can see it better..
Very happy with the final result. Even at 200% the image holds up well and detail in the dust lane and spiral structure is just showing through even at only 900mm FL.
Anyways thanks for looking and comments always welcome!
cheers Gary
