Totally agree with Ray. This has to be my favourite DSO, so looking forward to getting hold of the new data - so frustrating that the conditions in Chile aren't so good at the moment.
Well done & join the Bat Club!!
I did see that you had imaged this before. and at that time I decided that was a very cool DSO and would try it out on one of the larger scopes. someday. Thanks for your reply.
David I'm assuming that you put in an Advanced Request for this, a great choice.
This image you've posted using just 3 hours of data gives me hope that when we get to download the Future Observations from Chile with more integration time, I can produce something close to this. It's one of my favourite DSOs which does live up to it's name.
That is an outstanding image David and l expect that it will gets lots of likes. Now can't wait to get the data.
Cheers and CS, Ray
Thanks for your comments and yes, it was an advanced request. Oddly, even with 3 hours of exposure it was difficult to control the noise in the final image. But I like it anyway!
David,
Given just 3 hours the noise is very well controlled, just wait until you get the all the data.
