Another open cluster of the southern skies … and a lot of cosmic “Schmodder” ;-)

NGC 2547 – Open Cluster in Vela – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Feb 2023 – HaRGB v1

Quite a bit more colorful nebulosity in this image of NGC 2547, an open cluster in Vela. Took me while to finalize the image processing, the data is back from February 2023, using the IAS remote telescope at Hakos.

Cr 399 – Coathanger in Vulpecula – Jun 2023 – LRGB v1

Back to the roots. After all the data acquired under pristine Namibian skies, both locally and remotely, I managed to capture the Coathanger Asterism in my backyard. A few days after summer solstice, when astronomical dusk isn’t reached during the night.

h and Chi Persei – NGC 869 and 884 – Nov 2018

[Update]

Daten vom November 2018. Vor allem ein Test, um herauszufinden, wie weit mit der Belichtungszeit herunter gegangen werden muss, um gute Sternfarben zu erhalten. 100s mit der ASI 294MC Pro bei Gain 120 und f/5.5 scheinen brauchbar, 200s waren schon zu lang. Details bei Astrobin.

Data from November 2018. Primarily a test for exposure time to get proper star colors. 100s with the ASI 294MC Pro at gain 120 and f/5.5 work well, 200s were already too long. Details at Astrobin.
