Some RC6 and Askar FRA400 Pics

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

Hi all - I've been on holiday in SE Asia for last month, processing a backlog of images on my newly acquired Macbook Pro 14" 16CPU/40GPU (great laptop, it flies on Pixinsight).


I thought a month long PI immersion program would be a good exercise!


I've attached a few images taken with my RC6

1. 47 Tuc
2. Cat's Paw
3. Corona Australis
4. Eta C
5. NGC 253
6. NGC 1097
7. RCW 75


All the best
Doug

1. Fighting Dragons @ 280mm
2. Fox Fur Nebula
3. Rosette @ 280mm
4. Vela SN Remnant

Thanks leon - looking forward to getting back into it when I bet back to Oz, especially the RC6...lot of potential in that scope I think.


Not making excuses (ok yes I am!), but those RC6 images posted really only have minimal LRGB data in them (apart from RCW75)...makes me wonder what I can pull out of a decent long imaging run??

Doug, these are all excellent images and processed well too. Nicely done!

Ooops sorry Nik, I'm such a slouch with details these days


All mono images...
ZWO 2600MM-Pro
Chroma 36mm SHO 3nm and LRGB filters
AstroTech RC6 and Askar FRA400 scopes
EQ6R-Pro mount


Please don't ask integration times - I saved projects as PI projects on my hard disc...for some reason actual integration times weren't saved in the FITS data

Wow... They're all great images Doug. Totally well done on all of them.
