G1 Finally

#1

Post by sdbodin »

Third time is the charm, globular cluster G1, or Mayall II, of M31. Hard to distinguish from any random star in the field, but maybe, if you squint, it is a bit fuzzier. Reasonable seeing last night and very good transparency, no wind and 43F. Ran the camera at 1x1 binning for a crazy 0.35 "/pixel, event the good seeing is only about 1.5 " resolution.

Specifics, Meade 16 LX200 W/Starizona reducer for f6 at 2500mm efl, Atik 460ex mono 1x1 binned, 15/2 min lum, 2/2min RGB, temp -10C. OAG W/QHY5L-II at 2 sec rate in PHD2. Captured and stacked in Nebulosity, final in PS CS5, posted image full scale but 50% cropped.

Clear skies,
Steve
