New Image: M96

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

New Image: M96

Post by tanguan2001 »

All,

Here's a new image of the galaxy M96. A total of 76 mins exposure shows the galaxy's faint surrounding halo (adjust your screens!), as well as quite a few background galaxy. There is an edge-on one just at the left edge of M96.

Autoguided with GuideDog and the SS2K's serial interface. Still got problems with tracking in RA, so I've just built a parallel port relay box (at Matthew's recommendation) and recent performance has improved.

Will post those newer pics later - was up last night trying to image the jet in M87.
