“It was a test of how deep I could go with my first astro camera,”
I’ll take that as a challenge. The old camera could reach 22.0 Gaia -g, a good approximation to the SBIG’s unfiltered spectral response, with a reasonable exposure time. When all the niggles have been worked out I’ll try for the H-II regions in IC 1296 and a better view of the more distant galaxy.
