Well done Roberto, I recall including this one as part of the Taurus molecular field, it's strange looking thing, reminds me of a hairy caterpillar. 

You got a good result, especially from Petts Wood.

Hello All

I was hoping to post a couple of targets that I have been working on whenever we get some clear skies over here (none in the last few days/weeks) but have only managed to acquire sufficient exposures to somewhat finish the below, so here it goes:

Barnard 213, 216, LDN1495 in Taurus - LRGB

Details here:  https://www.astrobin.com/88tnaw/D/

Skies were not very transparent and only managed to keep 44 Luminance frames so plenty of noise removal in this version.

Dates: 12 Nov 2024, 25 - 28 Nov 2024
Frames: OSC - 104×300″(8h 40′)
Luminance - IDAS LPS-P2 50 mm: 44×600″(7h 20′)
Integration: 16h

I have modified the top post to give a better description of the way we are using the link-words today.

Photo Whatsapped.  there are various widths.

Found spare battery for caliper but that's flat too!!!!

Take what you need and let me have the remainder back, not used them for quite a while so no urgency.

That's very thin, there are plastic spacers I think I have a packet I'll take a look and see what I have.

Last post by Roy - Dec 04, 2024, 13:45:57

Hi,
Does anyone know of a source of 2" internal diameter spacer rings (to fit over a nose piece) of the sort typically used to adjust back focus? I'm looking for several spacers of 0.5mm and 1.0mm thickness.

Cheers

Roy

I think I've done most of the cleaning up that's needed. The most common error seemed to involve the title being put into the link-word field, which is an easy mistake to make because the title is up above the description, while the link-word field is with the other short fields.

There's still a bit of sorting out of UK locations to be done.

It looks like folk have been putting all sorts of stuff into the link-word field.

It doesn't work that way....

• Each gallery folder has a link-word which is mentioned in that folder's description.
  
  
• When you upload a picture you put it into a primary folder.
  
  
• If you want a picture to appear in another folder as well, then you type the relevant link-word for the other folder into the link-words field for that picture.
  
  
• The only things that should go in the link-word fields are the link-words that have been assigned to the various folders.
  
  
• For the Society Events section, we use link-words that have the location or event combined with the year into a single item, so "LaPalma2024" is the appropriate link-word (and note it is all one word) for the 2024 La Palma trip.
  
  
• Care needs to be taken to pick link-words that don't clash with other link-words in any way, or things get messy.
  
  

I will do a bit of clearing up, and along the way I will create appropriate folders for other trip locations. This may take a while...

Please, when you put pictures into the OAS gallery:

• Pick the most appropriate folder to which you have access.
  
  
• Give the picture a clear meaningful descriptive title.
  
  
• Use the description field to say more about the picture.
  
  
• For astro-photographs, please also fill in the "Image date, time and location", "Telescope aperture and focal ratio", "Camera and filters used" and "Processing applied" fields.

Thanks.
