Description

Finally after several nights over the last month I have got enough luminescence data for NGC 3628.

Not perfect, but here goes anyway.

19 x 300 sec plus 46 x 120 sec, darks and flats, Bortle ~5

10 x 300 sec each for RGB.

CEM60 EC

Trius 814 plus lodestar x2 for autoguiding.

Intes Micro MN86 with CCD47 0.67 FR, operating at F4

All data captured, plus tracking and post processing in AstroArt 7.

Post processing was only DDP, selective histogram stretch with masking with MHP.

Despite having the MN86 for 15 years this is the first time I tried with the FR and it has worked perfectly with a flat field across the chip.

Focussing for L was manual, RGB used shoestring FCUSB.
