ASTRO: Taken from the club site at Curby, Indiana
This is a stack of 8 images taken from our club's (Louisville Astronomical
Society) dark skies site in Curby, Indiana, on January 14, 2010. There was about 6 inches of snow on the ground that night, and other club members onsite using the observatory. So I set up my scope in the adjacent open field. Unfortunately, I had left my battery pack back home, and so ran the mount off my car battery (rule #1: don't run the mount off the car battery). I managed to get 8 useful images of M-42 (which was not actually the target I had in mind for that night). Unfortunately, after I took this series of images, my car battery went dead. Fortunately, I was able to get a jump start. M-42 8x2 images stacked and processed using deep sky stacker and Photoshop CS3 Equipment: Hutech Canon T1i DSLR mounted on a 200 mm f5 Konus Newtonian with a Baader Coma corrector Seeing was good. I've been dying to get back out there but the weather has really sucked here for over a month. |

George,
nice result for 8x2 minutes. When I run my power inverter from the car battery I sometimes manage to blow the fuse in the cigarette lighter, so I always have a supply at hand. The cold weather is really hard on batteries... Stefan "George" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
