M27 LRGB

I conducted a test session tonight to show someone how Browser Astronomy works to control my remote setup, and we wound up wtih some decent data on M27. It was a quick exposure just to demonstrate how the software controls the hardware, but the images turned out OK. The exposures are short, three at 2 minutes and a single RGB set of 3:5:6 minutes.

Minimal processing in Photoshop, no sharpening just a little noise cleanup (Gaussian blur) in the dim areas.

Taken with C14 and ST-1001E on Paramount ME.

Hi Ron,

that's perfect for such a short exposure time! Seems like the QE of the 1001E is quite high?!?

Cheers
Tom
