NGC3132 or Eight Burst PN
My image of NGC3132 or the Eight Burst Planetary Nebula taken with 8" SCT with 6.3 focal reducer on the G11. Autoguided using PHD and an 80mm achro + QGuider.
It has been a while since I last posted an image. I think that I have nearly solved all of the little issues associated with polar alignment and set-up of the G11. There appears to be some field rotation so I still need to work on the polar alignment.
I used a 2" IDAS-LPS filter to reduce light pollution. Image taken from my suburban Perth location.
Exposure of 2hrs (using 3min subs) with a modified Canon 350d @ ISO800. Dark, Flats and Bias used. Image stacked in DSS and post processing in PS.
Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.
