Hello,
Finally, three important events collided; clear Brisbane skies, equipment that behaved itself and an operator infused with motivation after months and months spent languishing in the astronomy doldrums.
Tak Mewlon 180 F12 with ST2000XM and CFW9.
Lum = 12x5 minutes.
RGB = 3x5 minutes each.
Brisbane, 11th February 2011.
Flats, Darks, Align, Stack, LRGB combine in CCDStack.
Finished in CS5 (cropped and downsized).
With the relatively long subs for this bright region, the data looks like more could be squeezed out of it, but for the time being, it represents the best I can do with my current tool set and processing capabilities. Love those 3 vane Mewlon spiders!
Thanks for looking!
Cheers
Dennis
