Popular Post Magellan Boy Posted November 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2023 Here is galaxy Caldwell 30 (NGC 7331) in Pegasus, the brightest member of the Deer Lick Group of galaxies. The image comprises only 16 x 4 minute exposures taken on the 10th November 2023 using an Altair Hypercam 26C at 300 gain (plus darks, flats and flat darks), through an Orion Optics UK AG12 Astrograph mounted on an EQ8 mount. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and Astronomik CLS-CCD filter were also employed. This setup was guided using PHD2 and an SXV Lodestar camera attached to an ST-80. Images were acquired using SharpCap, and the processing was entirely performed in PixInsight. Other members of the group are visible, as are some other faint galaxies in the field of view. I would have liked to take more data, but the good old British weather had other ideas! +Derbyshire Dave, BAZ, +Streetbob and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I like the widefield shot of this, it sort of makes it feel isolated. Nice work. Magellan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
