Ngc 6752

[technofetishism (Nick)]

Well, after spending a total of 4 hours setting up, and associated issues like taking 30 minutes of the wrong part of the sky cause the finder scope had been knocked by a degree. (and lots of other stupid issues like not setting bulb.) i gave up on the original plan of getting some light on M20 as it'd dropped low in my lightsphere and the moon was rising.

So decided to grab a globular again as they arent too bad to process and a good test of guiding.

NGC6752 and a few tiny galaxys nearby it. Not totally happy with the processing so far though. But at least its something to say for an annoying night.

Love it. Been planning to do that soon as my guiding is up to par.

Nice work, Nick. It's always good to salvage something from a bad night!

Yeah good result considering the circumstances. I too was out doing a bit of imaging with the 250mm kit lens last night and early this morning. When i view the Antares and M4 images afterwards, i discovered 20 images had to be thrown away because the side of the pergola was in them. Then DSS left out a few, so from going from 50 x 35 sec images, i was left with a stacked image of 9 x 35 secs
it can only get better ..... not to mention the processing

my biggest regret from last night however is the terrible effects it has had on hayfever. lol
