253 galaxy street

Well Well, where did this come from ?

Ok, I'll tell's ya's: somewhere in the deep black heavens this object from Galaxy street found it's way on my qhy10's chip,

Fortunately I was invited to drop said camera onto an 18" Newt here in the light polluted burbs of the Gold coast
No need to adjust balance when added the camera - huge rig

Unfortunately, my PC and Progs are not well equipped atm,, and my skills are somewhat lacking as Ive turned up another B/W output image from DSStacker - ahhh for the life of it

Image stats: 3x60s, 8x270s, Temp -30, no LP Filter, no darks, flats etc !
There is a diagonal blemish noticeable @ left upper of Sculpture, most likely from the corrector which I dropped, only from a foot, pheew !

Hope it worth the squiz, if not, at least its upset the usual run a fantastic image's here

Thanx Rick, some details I haven't imaged & seen before, a great opportunity.

Cheers Paul, not too shabby. The image scale surprised me with 1st few test captures, amazing 253 taking up the whole width of the chip.
Processing details that covered a good number of pixels instead of hiding in-between them was interesting, hard to go back to F/L under a meter, Lol !

Thanx Russell, would be amazing working this scope a few nights in dark skies, think I'm dreaming tho, Lol ...
