Image DetailsUp is 167.9 degrees E of N. Total integration time was 12m 12s. Exposures 8s@305g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Darks and flats subtracted in SharpCap. No guiding..
DescriptionThis is only the second observation applying calibration frames and staying a bit more patient with longer integration. While this image has some seriously poor calibration frames (probably in the flats), it's still a huge step up and represents the first decent quality galaxy observation made in my EAA career.
