Guest peter shah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 With moon just past full I didn't have a massive amount of choice tonight, so I grabbed an hours worth of Markarian's Chain in Luminance and used my old RGB data, the old data was pretty bad compared to this new stuff so I didn't use any of it for the Luminance just the fresh stuff.....and then the moon came up and I thought I would grab some of M13, but I had guide star issues, so I've only got two frames one in red the other in Blue, so I've combine the two for a mono shot....the resolutions not bad the seeing got loads better as the night went on.I've cropped in to show the full res.cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I love makarians chain. Great picture Peter. Is makarians chain visible in an 8 inch Newtonian do you know? I've only ever seen pictures of it-actually I don't know where it is in the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter shah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Many thanks ........Markarian's is a beautiful visual object, I have seen it through an 8 in Newt, its in Virgo when you see it in the eyepiece there is no mistaking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peter shah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks everyone, I thought I would add an alternative crop...I quite like this it looks less ordered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ben72 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I agree, the second crop is better, bringing the barred spiral at the bottom out more. great shot Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
