Bit stuck for targets, Set up is really too small for galaxies, Stuck at home in LP Bromley, and targets near the Zenith require a non windy night due to having to take the dome off.
Taken over 3 nights, started this last weekend with a Hutech filter, Got RGB on the second night and last night got Luminance, as I wanted to compare with the Hutech filter, but can't see much difference with this particular target and conditions.
M65, M66 & NGC3628
Lum 13 x 600
Hutech filter 18 x 600
RGB 8 x 300 binned (each)
Total imaging time 2020 6 hours 40 minutes
I then decided to combine it with the data from 2012 as it was still quite noisy.
2012 image, both taken from Bromley, and the 2012 one was done with a DSLR.
2012 & 2020 Combined
With 2 hours Modified Canon 450D + data above = Grand total of 8 hours 40 mins.

Cracking threesome,

Wonderful Carole!
Very nicely framed too.
Noel
Thanks Noel.

Good result Carole. I know you don't like to image galaxies but those three are nicely framed and the resolution seems good for detail.
Roberto
Thanks Roberto.
QuoteI know you don't like to image galaxies
Mainly because my set up is not suited to small galaxies. Plus I really don;t like imaging LRGB from Bromley, but no real choice at the moment.
