The Missing Messiers

#1

Post by sdbodin »


Working on processing the final dozen Messiers, got them all last night. Will post in groups as processing progresses. First group, in order of acquisition, M62, M28, M69, M70 . All a bunch of globs in the far southern summer sky, usually in the muck of summer haze and a dozen or so degrees above the horizon. Of this group, M62 seems to be a fine cluster, if it was only 40 degrees higher in the sky, I would point the Bigdog at it.

All imaged in my AT80LE APO doublet at f6, 480mm efl, 10 to 20 one minute subs thru ASI1600MC-cool OSC, gain 200, offset 50, temp -16C, UV/IR filter. Overkill for guiding with 2500mm efl Bigdog, well at least it had something to do last night. All images center 25% crop of full frame.

Clear skies,
Steve
Scopes; Meade 16 LX200, AT80LE, plus bunch just sitting around gathering dust
