Following on from this thread, I now have my first night of specifically SN dedicated images. I got 128 objects last night, 3 images of each.
Blinking them is proving to be the time consuming and error prone bit for me so far.
Question: What do I blink my image against if the DSS image of the galaxy is too "contrasty" for me to be sure if the star I'm seeing is normal or not? I'm using THeSky6 so viewing the DSS image in there, having searched for the PGC object. Google Image search is my next stop, but for PGC's it rarely comes up with a suitable result.
For example in the attached I'm suspecting the star in my image is hidden in the bright area of the DSS image, but cannot be sure.
Thanks,
Roger.
