Description

Happy New Year Astrobinners!

To mark the occasion ... on which we could have no party, I have presented a cosmic whale

Taken on Xmas morning with my TS Optics refractor which is 540mm focal length

All the narrow band targets had gone behind the house by 2am so set going on this

540mm is a bit short for this target but got more detail with my new set up than I had with me 800m newt plus DSLR a year or so ago

This is a LHaGB image , did a better job getting some Ha highlights than last time I tried this

The only difficulty to report is getting my flat frames mixed up so wasted several hours processing until I had realised what was up
