| Date/Location: | 12 September 2005 Corringham, Essex |
| Equipment: | 5" f/6 refractor |
| Camera/Exposure: | ST2000XM CCD
camera LRGB 50/10/10/10 mins |
| Notes: | This was a
frustrating image to acquire. For three successive nights my mount had
the 'guiding gremlins' resulting in only limited exposures (most were
thrown away because of trailing/lost guide stars). The image was put
together from 5 Lumninance exposures and 1 each of RGB which were
rescued. Below is an example of the problems experienced during acquisition. |
