Well like Leinad and Grahame I too was out at the Dryandra DSO weekend. Thursday night I trecked out ahead of the main cast. Set up after nearly 4 months of not even touching the scope I was imaging when astronomical twilight had come. So i set my sights on something very easy to test out the new FLI filters and make sure everything was working so NGC 3372 or as commonly known Eta Carinae nebula. The next evening everybody rolled in and decent non clouded night, though an abundance of water vapour in the upper atmosphere put paid to really faint stuff that i wanted to look to so once again I kept to brighter targets of the Tarantula and M104.
So without further adoo,
Standard rig, 254 astrograph, EQ6pro polished, OAG, Qhy9mono, FLI filters
Eta Carinae - LRGB 600,600,600,600 Bin 1x1 2.5hrs
here
Tarantchula - LRGB 900,600,600,600 Bin 1x1 1.5hrs
here
M104 - Sombrero Galaxy LRGB 900,600,600,600 Bin 1x1 2.5hrs (high cloud affected)
here
Note: In the full res version and just in the compressed jpg version the ring structure can be seen.
Hope you all enjoy!
