Markarian's Chain...again.

[AstroBee]

Here's another go on this subject. I was able to get to a "slightly" darker site than my backyard in the last version with 24 minutes of data.
This version is 160 minutes of data.
ZWO 1600mm cooled camera
160 x 60 seconds, 16bit FITS, sensor cooled to -20° F below ambient.
Processed with Astro Pixel Processor.

I'm happy to say the black bar issue I had in the previous version was not visible in the 16bit FITS.

Have you been to Nelson's Landing?

Have you been to Nelson's Landing?

Yes, In fact, This was shot from the Eldorado Dry Lakebed on the way out towards Nelson's Landing. We decided to stay a little closer because we didn't think the evening was going to turn out so well with winds and haze. I honestly wasn't even expecting to image when we were setting up.

Here's a closeUp of the M88 area.

I Like Nelson's landing since it's paved all the way.
If you want to shoot the northern sky, here's a place up by Coyote Springs.

Interesting. Do you just pull off right there by that tank? There appears to be a wall built around it so you can't get very far off the road.
I'm always looking for good spots north of town. I just sent you a PM.

Yes! Me too!. I think it might be because the test night I forgot to switch over to 16bit because I normally shoot my solar .ser files in 8bit.
I've never in the past shot any DSO work in 8bit.

Awesome! Well done!
