IC2944 Ha
Hi
Was really lucky with this one. Had roughly set up the mount to test (between clouds) that the focal plane tilt in the camera was fixed (it was) when a clear patch came through. No time for a proper polar alignment, so just did a quick and dirty 2 star alignment as it was – moon was up, so went to a bright Ha target, calibrated PHD and started imaging as quickly as possible.
It was a bit too windy for the mount, so kept the subs short at 200secs and got 9 usable ones for ½ hour total. First time I had tried Ha and it was interesting processing the data - lots less signal to play with. This is only part of the image and it has been scaled down by 0.5 to fit in the posting limit.
Thanks for looking. Regards ray
