Description

I managed last night, and the night before, to image the Omega nebula. I got 39 subs at 5 minutes long each, all through the 3" refractor, using my modified DSLR. I have so many difficulties imaging this, from the neighbour's roof in the way, and then her aerial, and then it just scrapes the top of her house for a while, and I can then only get a little more data before my own place gets in the way - and I have zero astronomical darkness and heavy light pollution! But this time of year is the only chance I get to photograph this object in my location.
