Description

Having had no time for imaging recently, and working on some good data from the last winter star party, I've found this in the 2012 wst folder. Not a very deep acquisition indeed but, still interesting. The image comes out from two very different dataset. The base image was been acquired with an Officina Stellare Veloce RH200 f3 coupled with a prototype Stalight XPress one shot color ccd on an Avalon mount. It consist of only 3 frames of 30 min each. The second datasaet comes from an Officina Stellare RiFast 400mm f3.8 with a FLI ML 11002 ccd and was only luminance. The scope was on a Paramount ME guided in parallel with a Borg 125mm refractor with a Sbig STV. Exposures was 8 5min each. This is the result using All the images as luminance and the Starlight ones as colors. Total exposure time is about 2.15 hours. The image is a full res crop in bin1x1 as it comes out from the Veloce telescope.

Thanks!
