I am so pleased with the data coming through, the signal to noise ratio and detail within such short subs, under a dark sky, is really impressive. Thanks so much M31 finished3.png Roboscopes team. And just so you know, this comprised of 60 subs at one minute long each, using a Takahashi Epsilon 180 F/2,8 astrograph, on a Skywatcher EQ 8 mount with a ZWO ASI071 Pro Colour CMOS camera at Pier 5.

Take care all of you.

Beautiful image Simon.
It's unbelievable that this is possible in 1 hour exposure time.
I can tell you in The Netherlands it's impossible.
I have used exposure times in excess of 50 hours from my backyard observatory.

Yes it is quite remarkable how much detail we are getting for such short subs and a comparison with the Netherlands and here (UK) would also be justified! I actually have a ZWO cooled colour camera and it has massively improved my imaging here, so I really rate these cameras. With the skies in Spain as good as they are, on top of this, we really are on a special curve here. Thank you so much for your supportive words about my image. I try so hard with this and encouragement is really important for all of us... Si

Phil,


Thanks for all your support over recent days. I am grateful for the new data too! 

Just so you know, I cannot download the darks, flats and biases for Pier 7 as the pages seem to have gone down. I apologise if I should have downloaded these sooner, and have lost my chance, but I do not know what else to do, than ask! In fact I only downloaded the calibration files for the scopes that were working in the earlier stages at that time, so I may have missed out on others too, so sorry!


Take care.

Simon
