Description

12 hours imaged over 3 nights from Los Colaroas, Gorafe, Spain in February 2024.

This was more of an experiment to test a combination of using a planetary cooled camera with the Celestron C14 Edge HD telescope for deep sky imaging.
Ideally this target would be captured in monochrome due to it's very small size, but with the ASI183MC OSC colour camera, the pixels are tiny at 2.4 microns and with huge over sampling the image can be binned down and processed to bring out some reasonable details.
