Description

Spring is late, wet and cold here north of Chicago with very few clear nights. While I wait for skies to clear, I've been experimenting with remote site images, this one from the Chile-1 telescopes operated by Telescope Live.

This is a compilation of 10 Ha, 10 SII and 10 OIII configured in the Hubble Palette. Total exposure is 5.5 hours through this 24-inch telescope.

What I love most about astronomy is capturing images through my own telescope in my backyard. But image processing is at least half of the challenge, and I need more experience. Using remote site data seems like a good way to augment my own data capture.
