Skunk Hollow Observatory
NGC7479. Shot using a Meade LX200 10" f/6.3 telescope at approx. f/4.7 using a SBIG ST-2000XM with a color filter wheel (CFW8a). 35 minutes (7 x 5) luminance at 2x2 binned. Acquired using CCDOps. Aligned and combined in CCDSoft 5. Dark and light frames applied. Adjusted histogram in Adobe Photoshop 6.0. Self guided by the SBIG ST-2000XM imager. Good transparency but terrible seeing made guiding difficult. Wind between 10-15 mph.
