My Turn-NGC3372 in 47 minutes

Well, its mine turn to be roasted.

NGC3372 in 47 minutes as a test in SGP for automated
guiding/focusing/dithering/sequencing.

It was never meant to be a full on image it was that the data was so good for such a short time, I couldn't help myself (that and I haven't produced anything in a while

)

Anyway, seeing as images of this object are in short supply, here it is.

Cheers and clears!

Some nice, rich colours

Focus...

.... maybe a tad off.

Good colours and dynamic range....and subject choice is impeccable

Stick with it

For a mere 47 minutes it has come up really nicely

Thanks guys, colour came pretty easy, I haven't pushed it to get it.

Yep, focus is a tad off, Peter. That was automated so when I get the reducer/flattener I'll redo my curves and go again.

I find the FLT132 is a bit fickle with focus, I might have to set up temp compensation and filter offsets yet, I'll see how it all pans out.

Really nice Graham.

Can see you have an older version in your gallery through that looks pretty slick too. Have not seen that target before!

Oi....pretty cheeky there, Jeff!!

The other version was with my old Tak TSA 120 which was a pretty good scope and had a lot more stable focus than the FLT132. I think I like the colour that comes out of the FLT although I would like to try the same filters as I had to do a direct comparison.

Cheers!
