NGC 5139 attempt with 80mm

[Gem (Grant)]

Hi all

While waiting for some parts to fix some weight/balance issues, I thought I'd give imaging with the cheap 80mm guide scope a go.

14 x 30 second images.
22 x 30 second dark frames
28 x 0.001 second bias frames

80mm f/5 refractor using ATIK 320E camera. Stacked with AstroArt.
Manually guided! (old school!)

Nice work Grant

The globular looks good and well resolved.

Cheers

Thanks Ric. The 80mm cost me only 70 pounds in London back in 2009, so it ain't the best.
I am just happy I have sorted out the colour issues. Seems ATIK and AstroArt go together better than ATIK and DSS.
