Equipment
Meade 16in LX200 telescope operating at f/6.3
SBIG ST8E CCD camera with color filter wheel
L R G B color production was used to create this image.
Luminance = 60 minutes binned 1x1
Red = 10 minutes binned 2x2
Green = 10 minutes binned 2x2
Blue = 10 minutes binned 2x2
是四张照片拼起来的(想想HST的图都是什么样)
说明如下:
·This image is a mosaic of 4 frames stitched together. Thus the above exposure times are approximate for each frame.
·The image quality isn't perfect- but putting this together was a tremendous undertaking- especially balancing the color.
·One iteration of L-R deconvolution (sharpening) algorithm using CCDsharp was applied to the luminance image.
