Faulkes Telescope Images

Deep Sky Objects - NGC 1300

Here are some images which were captured using the Faulkes Telescope North at the Going Nova Science Festival
which was held at Horizon Scotland at the Business Park in Forres in the north of Scotland.

The event ran from Thursday 10th November 2005 until Saturday 12th November.
During the Festival, the telescope was under the control of members of  the north of Scotland's two mainland astronomy clubs.
SIGMA, Moray's Astronomy Club and  Highlands Astronomical Society.

This is the best I can do with this image.
The raw Fualkes telescope is below for comparison.
A Luminance Layer was created from a grey-scale version of the  image and added to the colour version. This reduced the noise in the image and increased the contrast in the spiral arms.

This is Eric's result for this difficult target,
using a luminance layer.
