Andromeda - M31
Jul 25, 2019 07:55:05 #
Here we have a quick session with Andromeda with clear outside stats.......
48% moon
sunset 20.57 sunrise 05.15
darkness 00.09 - 02.09
With only two hours of dark, things needed to go smoothly.
Using the nikkor 180mm slight errors in PA can be quite forgiving but luck was on my side & PA was nailed very quickly.
All sky plate solve located M31 in 10.9secs.
Slight adjustment with the framing & I was imagining by 00.15.
Techy bit.....
Canon 450D astromodded
CLS clip filter
Nikkor 180mm F2 @ F4
60 60s lights @ ISO 800
30 30s lights @ ISO 800
associated calibration frames
SW Star Adventurer
APT for focus / imaging session
ASPS for plate solving / framing
DSS 64bit for stacking
Photoshop CC 2015 for processing
GradientX
Noel Carboni star tools
