Schedar and PacMan

[cybermystic]

I lost an hour and 45-minutes of good imaging time setting up the mini-WASP array last night. Sometimes it decides it is going to fight me every inch of the way for absolutely no good reason. Finally managed to get 4 x 30-minute subs on all 3 cameras for a total imaging time of 6 hours (which for 2 actual imaging hours is a good return) . I actually got 5 subs per camera but as I went in to the observatory to shut down at 1:30 a.m. like a clumsy idiot I bumped the mount and lost the last sub It's a bit painful to lose a half hour sub that way. Anyway - here's the result with my abysmal processing - I am sure Noel will turn out something that bears very little resemblance to my effort grin01 grin01

I have just quickly processed the full 13-hours of data taken on this one. Personally I can't see much of an improvement with the extra 7-hours sad1 sad1 sad1 but I'll leave it to Noel Carboni to provide the definitive version.

I was wondering what you meant by "PacMan" at first.

Good job!

I composited the recent deep mini-WASP array image of PacMan/Schedar with some earlier Hyperstar III data (also pretty deep) of PacMan only.
This is the result.
Note the Herbig-Haro objects towards bottom-right.
