      Description

      Hi everybody,

      During winter, we started a series of images on M100 with Serge Brunier and David Vernet using the 1m telescope of the C2PU.

      The goal was to make a very deep and detailed image. After 3 months using the free slots of the telescope, we have 15.5 hours of luminance and 2h15 of RGB color.

      The images were made with good to excellent seeing, sometimes below 1 arc second.

      I dialed in the luminance in 3 sorted layers :

      - 10 hours for background and faint objects (1.5" FWHM)
      - 2h37 for medium lights (1.2" FWHM)
      - 65 minutes for the center of the galaxy (1.14" FWHM).

      We are very happy with the result. This is the finest image we have made with this telescope.

      The final version is a crop of 4500 pixels. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE FULL 9000 pixels FRAME IN VERSION B : 



      Hope you will get lost in this field 

      Clear skies,

      JF
