Description

NGC 4631 Whale Galaxy in Canes Venetici

The Whale will be my first completed project taken with the newly acquired ZWO ASI294MM-Pro mono camera. The 294MM is an upgrade from the ASI1600MM with greater well depth. With the latest driver, the camera is unbinned from 4.63 to 2.3 microns. To achieve a better 0.87 arcsec/pixel ratio, the subframes were taken at 3X3 binning to yield a final `7 micron pixel size.
