Dark Doodad with NGC 4372
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Telescope Live with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Australia and Spain. One of the data sets I received, was data from the dark nebula Dark Doodad with the globular cluster NGC 4372 located in the constellation Musca.
The images were taken with the following equipment (AUS-2 CCD, Telescope Live):
Location | Heaven’s Mirror Observatory, Australia |
Telescope | Takahashi FSQ-106ED |
Focal length [mm] | 390 |
Focal ratio | 3.6 |
Mount | Paramount MX+ |
Camera | FLI Proline 16803 |
Filter | L:R:G:B |
Exposure time [min] | 160:160:160:160 |
Resolution | 4.74″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
