Ngc 5128

[spearo (Frank)]

Hello everyone, Happy New Year !
I've been away for 3 weeks with no internet connection.

Rebuilt the observatory but also managed to get some images.
hope to catch up over the next few nights with everyone elses images!

Here's a quick process of NGC 5128, captured with the 20Da at prime on the C14 at F11 on the G11.
autoguided of course

10 light frames, no darks, flats used though
had to recalibrate the monitor so i hope its not too dark/light

cheers

Nice comeback Frank nice an crisp.

Now, are my eyes deceiving me....or is your observatory actually a tent?

Thanks Mike,

Ahhh the new observatory "Mark II" is part wooden structure and part canvas covers...so yes a big tent on a hard yet flexible frame...
Ill update the website soon with more pics
cheers
