Description

©Gilliland/Mercieca

Here we have a look at some sample data from the site of my new scopes. Kayron Mercieca was kind enough to provide and takes all credits for data acquisition (http://www.lightvortexastronomy.com/)

I have simply processed the RGB data provided to get a feel for the excellent skies at the location - watch this space for scopes I will have available there - release news coming soon.

Mount: Avalon M-Uno

Telescope: Takahashi FSQ-85ED

Camera: QSI 660wsg-8

Filters: Astrodon E-Series Gen2 RGB 1.25”

Guider: Starlight Xpress Lodestar X2

RGB,120x600 seconds.

I have tried to go deep thanks to the quality of the data I did not need to be overly aggressive to do so. A commonly imaged target but hopefully I have managed to find a unique perspective.
