Description

Welcome to modernity, Telescope Live! The fellas have finally made the switch to CMOS cameras and have joined the rest of us in modern imaging. There are only two hours of data here but it blows away many of their older CCD integrations to the wind, even ones numbering in the 10+ hour range. Its just cleaner data to work with and the high QE works wonders. I suppose the fear would be using small pixels on such a large focal length would be problematic but that is where down-sampling comes in. I believe the native resolution is 0.19 arc seconds, and we can see here that you can still maintain amazing detail even when you downscale a bunch.

So without further adeiu, here is the Hamburger Galaxy, slowly roasting on the universal BBQ. Its nice to know my processing skills haven't gone to hell since I haven't touched Pixinsight in a month and a half.
