philjay Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 This is 25 minutes (5x500sec subs) luminence with the iTelescope T18 318mm F8.0 Planewave CDK in Spain. Still a bit patchy, but a bit more Luminence and then RGB should smooth things out I hope. This was my third attempt at getting on this scope. I started at 20:45 our time and got part way through and it cancelled the run due to a reservation had priority and I had missed. The reserve didn't turn up so the scope became free and some begger jumped in, grr . So I waited for them to finish and another reservation beat me. They didn't turn up so I then blagged the scope and did a 20 minute run, I added the previous nights 5 minutes. Ive now run out of imaging points (cos Ive been messing around a loton various scopes) so will wait for my top up next week before trying again. Besides, weather forecast for the obs region is poor.

philjay Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Was just wondering what the other objects were in there so did some searching Not sure if the small edge on galaxy like object is PGC28848 or not, it seems a bit close to me for it to be that. Looks to detailed to be an artefact though +Ibbo, Johnnyaardvark and Tweedledee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Very nice Phil. That has really pulled everything out. I looked at several images that all put PGC28848 in a different position as per below, but can't find what that tiny galaxy is actually called... http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~steinberg/astro2/interesting galaxies/SS-pgc28848.jpg philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Nope don't think its PGC28848. This is Skymapro 11 with background image overlay and its on there but unidentified. I have found a couple more images on the web with it on so its not an artefact. Interesting. Edited March 4, 2017 by philjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
