Longmore-Tritton 5, Revisited...

Author: SMacB | Posted: 2008-05-30 16:00:34 UTC

Determined to get a better image of LoTr5, this is my latest attempt. Using G7 (before its reconfiguration), 26 May 2008 19:36 UTC.
OIII. 10 x 600 sec
Clear, 4 x 600 sec (for the non OIII visible objects)

Combined & calibrated in Maxim DL, GradientXTerimnator in Photoshop CS2, and noise reduced with Noise Ninja.

A very faint object that radiates just above the background noise, making for some tricky post processing. Also of note is the fact that there were no suitable guide stars visible in OIII, so all these exposures were unguided.

Ed: I have recently re-enhanced this image with a novel use of a deconvolution script. You can see the result here
