ASTRO: NGC 3810

NGC 3810 is a bit to the lower left of the famous Leo triplet, not too far
from the horizon dust for me.
At 1950mm focal length with the small pixels of my SXV-H9 camera I would
have needed perfect seeing for a sharp image, but only had "good" seeing -
well I guess I should not complain.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with a Meade 10" ACF at f/7.8 on a G11
mount, SXV-H9 camera, 42x5 minutes.

Another one not on my ever growing to do list. Glad you are getting a
good new moon. I lost the last one and now this one. I did get a few
hours a couple nights ago. I'm converting to a new imaging computer,
the old one was just not up to the task any more. Something wasn't set
right and when I was done I found that even though it was supposed to
save the images it didn't. They were no where to be found on the drive.
My one good night lost. It was too light for imaging but I tried a
few short shots and it saved those fine. No setting change. Not sure
what's going on I did load the latest revision to CCDSoft. Several
updates ahead of the one in the old computer. Must have something to do
with it. I should know not to do that!
