Ngc3324

Finally a clear night in Brisbane! Really just wanted to experiment with my new ASI120MM as a guide camera but managed to get a few hours on NGC3324 while I was at it.

This is 30x5mins LRGB using the QSI and Meade ED80.

Full res version here:

Not sure about my processing - comments welcome.

The stars are sharp across the field of view so the scope, flattener and guider are working perfectly. The composition of your image is excellent Peter and I love the small cluster in the top left.
Really nice.
Allan

Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't realise when framing this that eta C was going to be quite so prominent. Time to invest in Starry Night I think!
