Hi
I don't normally do galaxies especially the smaller ones as I use a short focal length and large chip sensor and because of light pollution but occasionally when the conditions are right and there are no narrow band targets I will have a go at some LRGB. I've always wanted to have a go at this subject and with the system that I am currently using having the optimum field I thought I'd give it a go. This was taken with the Televue NP127is/FLI system that I've been testing on my Paramount ME auto guided by an Officine Stellare and Lodestar and it consists of 30x10 minutes luminance and 12x10 minutes each of RGB, it was taken over a period of several weeks due to weather, moon and work but I think the end result was worth it. I haven't inserted an image as I don't feel the small size portrays the field properly so I have inserted a link to the full size image below. My only regret is that I could have framed it a bit better to include the two nice galaxies in the top left of the image instead of cutting them in half, oh well, next time round maybe. http://m7.i.pbase.com/o9/29/869929/1...nchainLRGB.jpg
Thanks for looking
Lovely field and to me framing is just fine as it is. My only critic is about the field flatting, there are some patches in the back ground of different colors that detach a bit from a very good image of the area..
Hi Paramount, the page wouldn't load up for me saying it contains errors . I was so looking forward to seeing this as it's one of my favourite patches of sky.

Hi Suzy
I can't understand why the link isn't working for you as I've tried it and it works ok the same as one of the other members. Try the link below which is directly to the full size image in my pbase site which will open the image within the site rather than on its own
