Default Draco 3

hi friends,

I am really happy cos these days keep me really busy...
last year I started this project to continue this year and I think I have enough data to finish it, as there is so much further work out there... (-;

Draco Triplet makes a beautiful target in a decent telescope as well!

for those who remember:
I did not take darks for 1x1 in NGC 5907, but only for 2x2 bin.

This time I tried 6 darks for 1x1 bin - I must say, it is not really necessary! Thanks to Terry's know-how taing darks for 2x2 binned images is all we need in case of a SXVF H16.

find all data and images here please:

thanks for taking a look!

best regards,
Dietmar

Interesting arrangement of subjects, and nice image of them.

Isn't it nice that we can start a photo one year, then come back to the spot and finish it the next, or another after that.
