Ngc6188

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

I decided to have one final run last night before packing up for astrofest. Ended up with 9 x 15 min Ha subs before the full moon appeared over the trees. The last couple of nights must have been quite stable since the autoguiding has been very smooth. I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out given how full the moon was.

I had to compress the life out of it to get it under 200k but the full size/res version is here:

Cheers H - are you going to make it to AF this year?

That bodes well for AF, Peter!

Nice one. A good catch before the moon came up.

Thanks Rick. Really looking forward to it. I haven't done much since last year however I've get my EQ6 and ED80 working nicely now so hoping for some better images this year.

Thanks Greg. I had tried NGC6334 the previous night with SII and OIII however it was a complete write off with reflections. I guess NGC6188 was far enough away from the rising moon that it didn't matter as much.

No AF for me this time round. Will try and make the most of the skies from home.
