Guest NadeemShah Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Just processed this for Kheldar, this object really needs more data, but more importantly it is better imaged with a larger scope instead of an 80mm unless you've got a ccd hanging off the 80mm refractor. The blue channel is quite strong on the optics so instead of buying a semi apo filter invest in something like Noel Actions, it will be cheaper... Anyway Regardless of the bands in the image & mismatch of data, here's a peak.... Cheers Nadeem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kheldar Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That looks brilliant, thanks Nadeem 80ED (+ reducer) + 450D (modified) + Neodynium Assuming all the data was used, 48x120s (1h36m,) 31 darks, 29 flats As I said in shoutbox, quite right on the wrong sensor, I just needed to hit "something" after a bad night to try the new scope out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thats awesome, about 3 inch from the left hand side near 3 bright stars in the middle of the picture, is that another galaxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NadeemShah Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I think its NGC 5585, & there's a few more in there Edited March 13, 2012 by NadeemShah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Astrometry is a great bit of kit, its amazing how much else is in each picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Astronmetry is showing the points at the wrong places, but it's got the same data as Andy http://www.flickr.com/photos/kheldaruk/6981496941/ Edited March 14, 2012 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The other place to try is Astrobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
