Hi folks! Here are some of the objects I caught in the Feb 2015 Mersing trip over the 13 to 15 Feb weekend. These are all taken with an 8" f/4 Newt, G11 mount and a filter modded 400D. Many of the objects have less than ideal data, often because there were instances of guiding issues which meant that I had to throw away frames. Anyhow, here are the processed imagery:
1. Eta Carina
One of my favourite targets, which I have revisited again in the Feb trip. 9x300sec
2. NGC 3324
Star cluster with its associated nebulosity. 7x300sec
3. Omega Centauri
5x180sec
4. Thor's Helmet
A small and rather dim object, but an interesting target. 9x300sec

Here are my images from the March 15 Mersing trip. Since the weather wasn't stellar (we were plagued by clouds and haze with clear periods in between), I only managed to acquire data for two objects. Nonetheless, it is certainly better than nothing, and I am happy with the data that I got. Without further ado, here's presenting leo triplet and M8/M20.
Leo Triplet
Data integration of 11x7 minutes. Total exposure of 1h 17min. TPO 8" f4, Canon 400D.
M8/M20
Data integration of 5x15 minutes. Total exposure of 1h15min. Borg 71FL, Canon 400D.
