Eta Carina TEC180FL

Posted By Greg Bradley
From a few weeks ago. This Southern Object is well imaged.
The massive star Eta Carina is one of the most massive known
and could go supernova at any time.

It has already spewed off massive volumes of gas as this image
shows.

TEC180FL, FLI PL16803, Baader LRGB, Astrodon 5nm Ha. Taken at my dark
site in NSW Australia.

Also here is a version with 100 minutes of Ha added in. Makes it
a bit warmer and some nice subtle hues:

I am building a new observatory and am wanting to know who
makes a good pier to mount a permanent installation of a
Paramount ME.

M83 the Southern Pinwheel

Posted By Greg Bradley
I setup a Tak 1.6X extender on my TEC180fl to see how it would go.
This gives around F11.2.

Here is one image from that setup. M83, LRGB 120 70 50 60.
FLI ML8300, from my front yard at home.

Centaurus A 10:40 hours

I used some earlier data taken with the same scope and camera except at native F7. I took
some extra shots this week at F11.2 and combined them in CCDstack which did it effortlessly.
