Greg M Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Here's my attempt at the Fireworks Galaxy.Details:Explore Scientific ED152 CF APOASI 2600mmProChroma LRGB FiltersTS/Optics 1.0x Field FlatteneriOptron CEM70EC MountASI290mm Guide Camera w/ZWO OAG-L30x180sec Lum = 90 minutes15x180sec ea. RGB = 2hrs15mins.Total Integration Time: 3hrs45mins.Captured with NINA from Wee Thump, NV - SQM 21.35, processed with PixInsightThe last time I photographed this galaxy was back in 2017 when one of the many supernovae in this galaxy popped up. Here's a little short video I made showing then and now.https://youtu.be/wydwTzYO4d4 EDIT: Aug.31, 2022 I managed to grab another night of data on this subject. Slightly tighter crop. 08-26 & 8-31/2022 L- 50x180sec = 2hrs30mins. R- 32x180sec = 1hr 36mins. G- 34x180sec = 1hr 42mins. B- 32x180sec = 1hr 36mins. Ha- 18x600sec = 3hrs Total Integration Time = 10hrs 24minutes. Edited September 1, 2022 by Greg M 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoflewis Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Very nice fireworks Greg and excellent YT blinking the 2017 SN. This galaxy has been on my bucket list a long time, but I've never imaged it. I was planning to derig the QSI from my C14 to start my planetary imaging season, but you've now got me thinking about this one again.....🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as sharp as yours but not bad for my smaller budget rig. I too was quite surprised to see what I thought was IFN with only 30x180sec Lum 18 hours ago, geoflewis said: Very nice fireworks Greg and excellent YT blinking the 2017 SN.

I've been checking it out as I have a possible clear window tonight. I don't get astro dark until ~10pm from my location and it transits at around 11pm, so yes, maybe I could get a few hours on it tonight....🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg M Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Great job Geof, Congrats! It's kinda cool to be mentioned in the same sentence as Peter as his work is on another level!
