Thackeray's Globules
A surprise patch of clear sky last night resulted in this lazy 60 minutes H-alpha of data.

No darks or flats (errant hot pixels were removed with MaxIm) as the hour was late....(yes, *really* slack, but will fix this when time permits)

I was very happy with the camera's cooling -30C @ just 60% power, at an ambient temp around 27C.

The link is here

That's quite impressive for a quick effort Peter. Great details and the globules themselves stand out well!

Nicely done. Subtle processing is the key isn't it.

Subtle eh? Thanks. Gee I thought I'd hit it with a sledge hammer

Thanks, I rather like how the KAF8300 oversamples with the RH300...looks like it will be a great narrow field camera, as I was spoilt for guide-star choice.

Thanks Laurie... I don't suppose it's clear over your way?

New! Improved!
Thankfully, you can take dark-frames even if it's raining....

Calibrated rather than filtered the data.

Much improved the result

Same link as before

Thanks Marcus. It's about 1/2 res, yes, I know...that's not 100% ...but suspect you got the gist

The STT 8300 is a nice match for the RH, that's for sure!!
