NGC3718+3729

Post by stargazer_7000 » Mon Mar 31, 2008 5:59 pm

hi fellows,

after a long time of harsh weather conditions, saturday night made it up to me with almost perfect transparency and terrific seeing!

I had collected some data on this object before, but not enough to process a decent image.
finally I got 9 hours of total exposure time and here is the result after more than 9 hours processing... :D

data and all images can be found on my website:

small preview is here:

thanks for looking...and considering it... :wink:
best wishes,
Dietmar

Hi stargazer_7000! Excellent image! Makes me wish I could climb aboard my own rocket ship and head out there to see it 'up close and personal'! :lol:

Your site's nice, too.

P.S. I'm not a fellow, but wanted to reply anyway. :D
Forget the box, just get outside.
