Repro to get me out of marking NGC 6559

[batema (Mark)]

I'm sick of marking so time for a break. Repro of NGC 6559. Taken in September 2010.

1 hour 40 minutes of Luminence 1x1 bining at 10 minutes subs, 40 minutes of each RGB at 5 minute subs 2x2 bining.

Taken with my W/O Flt 110 and Qhy-9 at minus 20c. Darks applied but nothing else.

Hehe - know the feeling Mark - hope your astro fix helped.
I've never tried this one, so nice to see it singled out. Seems nice and smooth - must be all the data.

Great shot Mark.

I like the colours.


Ross.

Love it Mark.
Now get back to work.

Nice image Mark.

I can get you some more if you need more marking

The only blessing is that we are in full moon mode and the saddest thing is my classes start their exams tomorrow. How do you find one of those little icons with a grown man crying. How can I make the same money I make as a teacher by going out at night time and taking images?

Fast forward 50 years and Mark is talking to his grandson who travels the world on the winnings he makes from the AstroP world titles - Chile, Hawai, South Africa, Los Palmos. "Now back in my day, we weren't paid anything to just sit out under the stars with our gear and take pics to share on the local astro forum".
