Ngc 6744

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

After a giant large big absolute crash of windows in my netbook used to work with astronomy, I wasted seven days trying a solution.

No chance ! I lost all. And more two days to re-install windows and all programs, applications, configurations ...

Well, this is the first photo made after that hard task, since I never know where are the originals source files, cds, etc. Drivers, programs, and all necessary to work with the equipments, cameras and graphic process application.

The sky was not good, but I am happy to see that all is working fine again. And as I had shot this galaxy 2 years ago, I decided to publish both photos for comparison.

I used as reference to process my photo the imagem in http://www.spiegelteam.de/CCD-Aufnah...6744_v2005.jpg

Bad luck regarding your laptop Jorge. At least the computer hardware still worked.

That's a very nice image of NGC 6744 that you've managed to take.
