fwm891 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Made a start on what I hope will end up as two LRGB images. Both at present are LRGB subs added together as grey scaled images as there's just nor enough data to bring out either colour or structure. One is a galaxy group: NGC's 5985, 5982 and 5981. The other is the Bubble neb: NGC 7635. Captured with an Altair 8inch RC, Atik 383L+ mono, Baader filters and home made OAG with a Lodestar guider on an Avalon Linear mount. A WIP.
