+Graham Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I took this image tonight through the clouds and the wind just to see what would come out so to speak. Pointed the scope at the large cluster of galaxies around M110. Managed to grab 40 odd subs before the clouds moved in completely. I had to select the best ones (and I use that term loosely) which left just 16. GT 81 Canon 350 D Dithered using BYE and PHD 16 x 120 second subs at ISO 1600 11 Flats 5 Darks Stacked in DSS Teased out what detail I could in PS 6 So how many are there ????

Tweedledee Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 M110 is not one of them I think that is M100. A very nice widefield. I get 8 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I get 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Very nice and really interesting to scan around. Not quite the Hubble Deep Field but lots going on there! :-) Are you still using the dithering method with that? Steve Edit: Deep not Wide!

+Graham Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 I have been searching the original picture under high mag and have found these. Some might just be my imagination and I know I have missed a few as well. Amazing to think what is really out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Submit it to astrometry.net That should show the catalog numbers of every object on there. Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It is amazing that you captured all those with a GT81. Hubble is a lot bigger and not in your backyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peepshow Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It is amazing that you captured all those with a GT81. ..........and with such short exposure times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks folks. Had it plate solved as suggested. Here is the result. What it should look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Prefer yours Graham as it is one field and looks less faked! I love astrometry.net plate solving but has I missed a couple of things? Below NGC 4396 (Just out of the field of view) and also there is something fuzzy to the left of NGC4328? I submit stuff via the flickr group and sometimes they don't get solved. Also they used to highlight the objects when you hovered over the image but this seems to have stopped working in windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
