Description

Using some of Jim Misti's data again, whilst yet another horrific storm blows through, I have produced this image of the whale galaxy. Jim used a Ritchey-Chretien 32" telescope, a SBIG STL-11000 CCD camera with Astrodon Tru-Balance colour filters. Exposure time was 200 minutes, i.e. 3 hours 20 minutes, comprised of 22 x 5 minutes Luminance unbinned and 6 x 5 minutes each R/G/B, all unbinned.
