Description

Perth, Australia is great for clear summer nights, but unfortunately most of these nights are quite windy. Add to that the large size of the 254 Newtonian means that there isn't a huge amount of optimal nights for imaging.

This week myself and a good friend of mine built a small garden shed with a removable roof to help block the wind. This image is the first produced from the shed and allows me to image most clear nights regardless of the wind speed.

This is a narrowband image mapped to the hubble palette (SHO) with RGB stars. Taken over 3 nights from Bortle 6 skies.
