New Lights from New remote Onservatory
« on: 2017 November 22 04:19:08 »
Dear  group, here I'm again with some new images from my new remote observatory.This will be my astroimaging home from now.

The site is located in Rio Hurtado, 1.600 masl. Seeing is expected to be 1 arcsec or so.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/El+Sauce+Observatory/@-30.4725411,-70.7630512,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x8477c0b93afee859!8m2!3d-30.4725411!4d-70.7630512

So far, everything is working as expected with observation tasks programmed for each night.

The equipment installed there consist in OOUK AG12 newtonian astrograph, STL11K camera all mounted on Astro-Physics 1100 GTO GEM

Here you can see the instalation of the ROR :

2) Overlooked objects.

    Dorado Group in Doradus :

    MBM 47 in Aquarius


This is an interesting region of dust consisting of multiple interlocking ribbons of dust.

I'm working in a 2x2 mosaic of this region, but this will take a little more time.

Hope you like it.

Best regards,
