DSLR image M65-66 NGC 3628

Hi,

Imaged one of my favourite trio of galaxies last night.

M 65-66 and NGC 3628.

This image was taken without a coma corrector, I need to get a spacing kit. Anybody in South Australia will tell you it was damn hot last night. So I'm pleased with the result at ISO 1600. I'm finally on top of collimation now one step closer to setup completion.

Telescope. 8" f/4.
Mount HEQ Pro .
Camera. Unmodded Canon 1100D.
10 x 120 sec subs.
9 x dark frames.
9 bias.
3 flats.
Stacked in DSS.
Processed in Photoshop.

Cheers,
Justin.
