hi all,
I've added some Lum and color to my image of ncg2903 in Leo. The core of the galaxy is bright ( very easy to see in my 12 1/2" dob which I set up while I was imaging .)
Tak Mewlon 250 at f8 LRGB 90:15:15:15 mins with ST8-E. Image reduction in MaximDl and LRGB combine, layers and cutrves in Paintshop Pro.
It was a very clear night here last night but the seeing was fair to average. The FWHM of the stars is about 2.5 arcsec. The transparency was great while using my dob ... picked off a lot of galaxies last night ..but the imaging set up strugled with the seeing, I had to lower the aggressivness of the stv to as low it would go and still track to avoid chasing the seeing.
clear skies,
Larry Citro
