Description

The NGC225 Experiment. I know this has been done before, and I have been wanting to try it for some time.

This image I was originally not going to process as the setup running the rgb’s had cooler issues, as I forgot to turn the cooler back on after checking other things. The stacked rgb color master needed extensive cleanup with it running at +20, instead of -25c. The rgb image was cropped to match the fov of the ML-694. This is what the finished image ended up looking like.   

The experiment was, can I do this and have it work. 28x10 luns, 24x10 total rgb sub, all done on the same night with two different setups.

Setup 1, AP Mach-1 CP4, TEC110 @f/5.73 630mm and the FLI-ML694 with 4.54um pixels, image scale 1.48, fov 68x55. This was used just for the lum sub.

Setup 2, AP 1100GTO-AE, TEC180 @f/7.2 1296mm and the FLI-PL16803 with 9um pixels, image scale 1.43, fov 98x98. This was used just for RGB subs.
