NGC1968 & NGC 1955

NGC1968 & NGC 1955
www.irida-observatory.org/Namibia-Tivoli/NGC1955-68/NGC1955-68.htm

I set out to create my own Sequence in Nina and get use to it so it all runs smoothly at Astrofest. I struck a few problems I was sent a Mono Chip for this camera so no matter what I do the Live stack comes out 15 shade of grey even though it a colour camera. I found out at close to meridian The wires are pinching tight causing the camera to cause star trails.

This is stacked removing the trailed photos sadly my third night was cut short by clouds rolling in at midnight so I could not see if final lay out worked but guiding certainly was better. Looking at this area It is so interesting I will do after astrofest a panorama of the area. This is part of the Large Magellaninc Cloud but not a part I have shot before at the top part of the shot below.

It has been a long learning curve but the end results have been worth it the part that is the hardest is the weather clouds and rain kill every thing.
