Another potpourri of what the weather allows:

LBN 406, 413, 415 - Faint nebulosity in Draco

This is very faint.  Not even after close to 11hrs of L did it show much. A couple of clear nights were "ruined" by the glow of the aurora throwing the OSC frames completely off and reducing the contrast in the L.  In any case, details here:  https://www.astrobin.com/8xwd5i/C/





Dates:  7 - 9 May 2024, 11 - 13 May 2024, 16 May 2024
Frames:  OSC - 129×300″(10h 45′)
L - IDAS LPS-P2 50 mm: 70×600″(11h 40′)
Integration: 22h 25′

And from this weekend:

A nice selection Roberto.  amazing you can get that faint nebulosity from Petts Wood.

Any chance of letting me have the file of the prominence animation, so I can send it to Raf so it will play on Members Images.

Thank you.  You can download the .gif file from here or Astrobin. Do you still need it as a file?
