Centaurus A

Posted By Greg Bradley
Centaurus A galaxy. FS152 LRGB 30 20 20 20. ST2000XM.

What is interesting to me in this image is how much larger the galaxy is compared to other shots I have seen of this. The Tak scope seems to have picked up more of it.

I have finally finished processing a series of images using an SBig 2000XM, Tak FS152 and an RCOS 12.5 inch all on a NJP mount. Most of these were taken from my remote location observatory.

M20 more exposure time

Posted By Greg Bradley
I posted this image a week ago but I shot another couple of hours of it and have now added it to the original image.

It is now 4 hours worth. LRGB 60 60 60 60.

FS152 ST2000XM.

How big are imaged galaxies anyway?

Posted By Greg Bradley
Here is a heightened processing of M83 taken in very dark and clear skies with an FS152 a few weeks ago.

Whilst it won't win any prizes it does highlight how much bigger these galaxies are than are usually shown.

No doubt stars in a galaxy go from dense spiral arms to less and less and more of a sprinkling of fewer and fewer outlying ones.

This could be a target for a really long exposure to see if I can pick it up more clearly.

First light STL11000CM

Here is first light of my new camera an STL11000CM.

Omega Centauri FS152 at F8 3 x 10mins from my backyard observatory.

first light STL11000XCM with RCOS

Posted By Greg Bradley
Trifid 6 x 10mins. This camera suits the RCOS far better than the ST2000XM.

yet another Omega Centauri

Posted By Greg Bradley
Sorry to bore you with Omega Centauri shots again, but this one I feel is the best I have taken so far. I am starting to unleash the ability of this STL110000XCM camera and the RCOS. Its a bit of a learning curve this hobby!

3 x 10mins one shot colour STL11K, from my backyard, RCOS 12.5 inch.
