NGC1232 - RGB
After a stressful battle to find out what was wrong with my colour calibration, I think I have it worked out (After two years of having the problem, and not knowing it). The main fault resulting in over the top saturation that I couldn't see - very embarrassing. I'm praying it now looks okay?
This is a smallish galaxy at only 7.8 arcminutes, and close to 10th mag. This is a small data set of 2.5 hours, but enough data to have some fun.
This is my first LRGB image for about 18 months, following a long testing period of working with my equipment at home with new software. I'm now looking forward to many more new LRGB data sets flowing in.
Information about the image:
Instrument: Planewave CDK 12.5 | Focal Ratio: F8
Camera: STXL-11002 + AOX | Mount: AP900GTO
Camera Sensitivity: Lum BIN 1x1, RGB BIN 2x2
Exposure Details: Lum 900sec x 4, RGB 300sec x 5
Viewing Location: Central Victoria, Australia.
Observatory: ScopeDome 3m
Software Enhancements: CCDStack2, CCDBand-Aid, PS, Pixinsight
Comment: Reasonable seeing conditions, but a very small data set for this fainter object.
