i think you are correct Mr Sidonio - a tad more green? Thanks and HNY to you and all your family - may 2011 be dry at new moon and the night cloudless
I shall Sidonio it as soon as i can
Yeh clear tonight of course but have committed to a party ...tomorrow night should be clear too though soooo right back out to Kurri for me it is (that'll be three (all) nights out of four though )I tells'ya though...you guys with an observatory don't realise juuuust how convenient that is

pack, drive, unpack, pack, drive, unpack, pack, drive, unpack.....

Really off topic - i will be doing the family thing and take in the fireworks at 9 - then afterwards bringing them home and ditching them for midnight imaging till 4 am LOL btw look here http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...&postcount=253
A great start, HOughy, what better target to begin with. Lots of sharp star points, blended with clarity in the dust cloud...nice to see both!
Mate, I am so pleased you have finally finished your dome, I am going to need some tips from you about how to get such a development past the Development Officer (aka SWMBO).

You might explain what "10 hours-worth" of data means to those here who may not necessarily know.
I imagine your per-sub exposure time will be different now with the cooled camera - or are you maintaining similar times but with less noise at maybe higher sensitivity (800 vs 400ISO)?

two nights data - 5sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 60seconds, 120sec, 180sec, 240 sec , 300 seconds and 605seconds(only because i already have darks for this time LOL) ISO800 for the lot using CLS CCD 2" filter
