| Date: | May, 2006/April, 2007 for Luminance, March 2005 for color |
| Location: | Elizabeth, CO. Mag 5.5 skies, alt ~6500 ft |
| Telescope: | 16" f/4.9 Newtonian, Pegasus Optics primary |
| Mount: | MI-500 w/ Astrophysics AP1200 GOTO computer control |
| Exposure Duration: |
Luminance, prime focus = total 96 min = sum of 28 four min exposures, -15 deg C Luminance, f/8 = total 168 mins = sum of 21 eight min subexposures, -15 deg C. Color = 80 mins = sum of fifteen 4 min exposures, -20 deg C |
| Imager: | Luminance = SBIG ST-10XME, color = SBIG 2000XCM w/ AO-7 |
| Filtration: | Prime focus = none, f/8 = SBIG luminance filter. Lumicon barlow used for f/8. Lumicon coma corrector mounted before AO-7 for XCM image |
| Guiding: | Prime focus = ST-10XME = self-guided, f/8 = AO-L guided. ST-2000XCM AO-7 guided. |
| Seeing: | Good, ~3" |
| Comments: | Prime focus and f/8 luminances created in Maxim. F/8 image downsampled and averaged with f/4.9 image. CCDStack used for PC deconvolutions on luminances. Color XCM image also deconvolved. Final LRGB assembled in CCDStack |
