lukepower Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 FInally the new systems seems to come together. This is a first elaboration of a few hours of data (total of 60 Minutes L, 40 minutes each RGB) of NGC 4565, taken with my Cassegrain 20" at f/9 through an ASA 4" corrector-reducer (thus at a focal lenght of about 3500mm). The images have been taken with the Beta of Sequence without problems, I even added one 10 minutes subexposure in the L channel. Processing through Pixinsight, maybe a bit aggressive but hey, I am happy to get a decent image finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakbrooks Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Very nice Luke. It's a long process getting an observatory set up (I have dome problems to resolve before I can get back to commissioning the ASA equipment) but hopefully once everything is sorted I will enjoy similar results from my ASA 16" Cassegrain.

afesan Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Congratulations for the success and the final observatory set up. A promising equipment ¡¡... surely you will send great images to this Forum,Luke. Now I am also ready with my new observatory hardware and the Sequence developments will surely, help ....even more.¡ Cheers¡ Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukepower Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Antonio, Thank you for your kind words. I still have to learn a lot about image processing, but I have time. Now the weather is bad and I have some "plans" this week (ask my soon-to-be wife), so no imaging now Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukepower Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Heh Antonio, thanks Now somebody has to explain me how to explain this hobby to the wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afesan Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) .I´m afraid there is not a recipe for this¡¡---I just improvise ¡. Seriously... I am lucky in this aspect. She supports me into this fantastic hobby... but the risk is to be obsessive. The secret is to keep a balance between astrophotography and family.I´m a husband..and father of 3 boys... 16, 11, and 9... I wish yours all the best. ¡¡ Edited April 22, 2014 by afesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
