Hi,
Yet another clear night. This didnt take too long. Sort of a warmup image while waiting for Leo to clear the trees. Cassiopeia is always in the most light polluted part of the sky for me, so i thought i would test my luck anyway and do a quicky image of M103.
I used a Stellarvue SV102 @ f/4.9 with a Celestron .63x focal reducer, ATIK-2HS b/w camera with Astronomik Type 2 LRGB filters all on an unguided G11 mount. Exposures for LRGB=8:6:6:6 20 sec lum subs and 30 sec RGB subs. Processing with Registar and Paintshop Pro 8.
thanks for looking
(edit - I originally listed a TV .8x reducer as part of my train. It was in fact a Celestron .63x i used)
