m100 m5 m56

More 8" reflector stuff over two nights, 18th. and 19th. April. Lucky the first night, not so the second with haze preventing focus aroiund 03:00; the second set of m5 was curtailed. Finished night one with just 2 (two) of a planned 18 on m56. Ah well...

the gso203 workhorse

 

Finally put the refractor to rest and got out the 203. Still galaxy season so after the galaxies swung west, the big globulars rose. Good seeing with guiding rarely above 0,4"rms.

Big callout too for Frankin at setiastro.com. His SetiAstroSuitePro software should take most of the credit...

m94

 With apologies to all the residents of m94, note to self to do this properly. It needs loads more time. Hopefully then there'll be colour as well as the outer halo. Alas, the calima hit around midnight, after only 90 minutes.

a bit more outer halo

Then added more sessions. This was 167x4min. It worked but there's some red haze in the background. Wondering if this is the poor quality ir filter...?

 A few rethinks.

 Not the same session. One with sv220, one without. Always wanted to get the Ha of m82. This seemed to do it without the usual processing fight...
