Description

This is my second image I have taken with my Atik camera and cannot understate Carole's teaching abilities.

I live in Peterborough and Carole lives in Kent so I really cant praise her enough to be honest

This image of the Horse Head was taken on the 28/12/17.

It was taken with my Atik 460EX with a filter wheel attached to a Williams Optics Zenithmaster 61

Apo

I live to the east of Peterborough so only had a few hours before the lights of the city start to really wash out the image.

The image is made up of 3 x 10 min Ha , combined with 19 x 5 min Ha ( with dark and bias frames added unbinned)

The RGB frames are made up ( on each channel) 8 x 150s (with dark and bias frames added) all binned x2

These were then resized in Registar too match them up with the Ha.
