NGC 2182

I got the first night of subs for NGC-2182 last night. Hoping it stays clear to get another couple of nights for a decent picture.

I'll post what I got so far when I get home today and process the first nights subs. Forgot to do dark's last night so I may add to tonight's shooting schedule.

That's a great target, looking forward to see what you got. Which scope did you use?

[gardenfish]

I only have the one imaging scope, the TSA120. I took out the reducer/ff so I could use the lp filter for the rgb. I am interested to see how it did without a flattener.

Yeah I gotta get off my butt and process the Ha data I have on the Jellyfish Mosaic. I'm so lazy about processing.

I did not get the details I was looking for with the 10min rgb subs. I did get just little blueish wisps on the brightest 4-5 stars in the field. Kind of like in Pleiades. I re-shot again last night adding 4 each more of the rgb so I will have 15 total subs each for rgb and I acquired 25 - 10 min Lum to see if the details are in the lum.

Will find out today again when I get home from work.

Did notice yesterday I still have the darkish ring in the subs that I was told was probably caused by the reducer/ff. But since it was not used I now need to further the investigation. The flats did not seem to eliminate it although it can be seen in the flats also.

Definitely the detail needed is in lum. I have the 25 lum subs now and it is just becoming barely visible. So hopefully tonight stays clear and I can get a whole 7 hrs of just lum to add.
