I got three clear nights since Friday. This is something I'm still working on and I'm clocking in the data so this is still pretty noisy. Had to stop because the clouds are back on Tuesday but I have a valid scaffold to work with now and I know where everything fits. I just need to get better subs and add to it to reduce noise and even up illumination.
The area spans from Taurus to Orion. It's pretty big. You can just start seeing the Eridanus Bubble and the Barnard loop on the right side.
Two panels and one quick one in the middle to bridge the whole lot together. Not the highest quality yet but you can see some structure starting to show. There's a lot of house gutters and trees I had to reject due to the extremely wide field spanning 70 degrees or so and the position of Orion which is still a little low for the season and I don't have much time before sunrise.
Out of the three nights Sunday night was the best. Pretty dry and steday. Saturday was a shocker though. So much moisture in the air it looked like soup. Very bad transparency.
The high res pano is
here. I also did a
platesolve here.
Hopefully I can keep plotting along weather permitting. This stuff is very faint so I'm considering getting the data from the next Wiruna new moon week-end.
Hope you enjoy the view.
