Hello friends and imagers.
My new image processing workflow is starting to yield results. I have processed and published much of the work captured from the summit of Spruce Knob in September. I still have some mosaic work to be done and many more sets of data to work up.
But for now, here are the images from Spruce Knob. You can click on each image for a larger presentation.
These are old standards of the night sky, but I wanted to capture data with the new equipment. The AP Stowaway and ZWO ASI 294 MC Pro did the lions share of the work. I did add some halpha data to the Andromeda Galaxy that was acquired right from my backyard.
The Great Andromeda Galaxy. Spruce Knob RGB data supplemented with Halpha from home.
Approximately 3 hours of data acquired from the summit of Spruce Knob for M45 The Pleiades Star Cluster.
M16 or Eagle Nebula is hard for me to access. It is behind the hill at my house, so I always have to travel to image this area. I did not get as much data as I wanted on this object as clouds rolled in. I hope to revisit in 2020.
I revisited some DSLR data taken a couple of years ago on the Astro-Physics 130 Gran Turismo with some recently acquired Halpha data on the Astro-Physics Stowaway.
