I was not able to get the targets this month. So I have a rehash.
* Scope: VC200 @f6.4
* Imaging device: st4000xcm
* Mount: EQ6
* Guiding: Orion SSAG phd with wobbly WO66 ( I worked that out a couple of weeks later), hellooooo flexure.
* Exposure details: I think 5 mins and around an hour or 2
* Stacking method: Combined in astroart with the wrong darks and no flats
* Summary of post processing: Hideous data capture, massive gradients as was taken near full moon, guider flexure, and miscollimation. Played around with Atalas showing me some techniques in photoshop. But I Had nothing better to post and I wanted to support the deep space challenge. Lou managed to cover a lot of the data faults, but as I said earlier he wasnt trying to process to make it pretty he was just showing techniques. It was just after I had bought my camera and I just wanted to take an image, and I really hadn't got the kinks smoothed out yet.
* Darkness of imaging site: sodium city, with extra moon.
* Date(s) image taken: Around october, 2009
