I watch the weather on a daily basis and I have never seen so much bad weather coming from the South in winter. Normally we get weather from the North in winter, and from the direction of Greece and Turkey in summer. This winter is upside down. I just hope our summer weather doesn't come from the North. 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobdlbug Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 M51 - just such a beautiful galaxy, you've got so much detail in there and the colours just pop, another jaw dropping image from your mega rig. There's a very distant galaxy just above and left of NGC5195 - I haven't got that named in my platesolved M51 image from last year on astrobin - but in your image its so clear - do you know anything about it ?

peter shah Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 This was the full image with just a raw stack and basic stretch. You can see the artefact I've had to deal with....I cant wait to swap out this camera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a mark on the sensor of some kind....Not frost as it is consistent. Moravian have no explanation for it. So it is going back for repair. The camera will be replaced with a Kepler KL404 as soon as I can get out to Spain....hoping that will be very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
