M27 - Dumbell Nebula
Hi all, with my close encounter with a funnel web spider last imaging run I have moved to make my rig as auto as possible (to image from the safety of my indoors!). I am about 75% there and have automated the alignment and guide star selection process. Unfortunately the guide cam (which acts as a wide filed sky scan to find alignemnt stars) is too high in arc pixel sampling compared to my imaging scope so I had guiding issues.
This image of M27 is Ha:Ha:Oiii 60:20min (10 min exposures)
Even though I use a Light pollution filter for my suburban skies I was delighted to see the outer skirt starting to show.
I had to use a star rounder tool on this one until I get my guding sorted out.
Comments welcomed.
