ASTRO: An idea from Rick NGC3718 region widefield
I shot '3718 with the stinger about a month ago but it was too faint in my
image to be interesting. Then I saw Rick's wider view of it and some of the close-in neighbors so last night I decided to check that out and liked what I saw. So that was my target. Unfiltered and 25 x 400 minutes from the AP180EDT f/9 and Proline3200 with Eng Grade KAF3200 operated at -45C I had some problems with my flat fields so I had to use the clone stamp to fix two ugly doughnut regions so the stars/background galaxies may not be 100% accurate in this shot. With luck I will get clean flats tonight at twilight and that will get fixed and perhaps some additional exposure time added. I would like to shoot some binned color too if time permits. http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/ngc..._pl32_page.htm the "amulet" on the lower and curved arm of '3718 is intriguing to me as is the hook at the end of the arm. There are lots of background galaxies in this image too. Too many for me to count! |
