Title: Praying Ghost VDB141
Post by: Carole on Oct 31, 2023, 14:25:41
I took this in 2022 at both Kelling Heath (1 hours Lum) and Notgrove 50 mins RGB = very little data due to poor weather at both locations.

With other projects I have going on it didn't look as though I was going to be able to add to it in the near future, so I decided to use some data from 2013 which I took in Les Granges, but it was a much wider field of View, and combine to help reduce the noise.

Mixture of kit.
2013 4 hours 50mins LRGB
2022 1 hour 50mins LRGB

total imaging time now is 6h 40mins

Thanks Duncan. 

Quoteyou are good at long term imaging projects.
Needs must. Never by planning just a desire to improve what l have, often necessary due to inability to get to dark clear skies at the right time.

It was very disappointing to go to two astro camps for a week each and only get 1hr 50mins in total imaging time on this target it was the only target l imaged so total imaging time in two separate weeks!!!!
