Title: NGC 6960 Witches Broom
Post by: Fay on Aug 13, 2009, 14:39:24
(http://s712.photobucket.com/albums/ww124/virginiafay/NGC6960-12x480-no-dks-wo-at.jpg)

First image for about 3 months. First light with pier.

12x480secs, Atik 314L, Ha, 0.8 fr, WOZS66, flats, no darks. I have left the camera etc in place as I would like to have a try with OIII and SII.

Very nice wide field Fay, lots of faint stuff showing.  I'm looking forward to seeing the other data added for a false colour image...

if your pier had been put in level, it would have been in colour  :twisted:

Get some more data in that it'll be very nice Fay :)

That's a good scale Fay.  Lots of detail beginning to come out there.  Looking forward to seeing the colour.

You have the same halo as John ...
