Anyone want access to raw image data? M65, NGC3628, etc

Hello,

AG Optical Systems recently got our observatory up an running. We have two imaging systems generating data. While we are still tweaking a few things the data being generated has produced some very nice images.

The observatory is a 24' x 10' roll-off roof building located in northern Alabama. Our skies are Bortle 4/5 with average seeing condition on most nights of 2.5" to 3".

AG Optical Systems is happy to share our data with anyone who want to process it. The data is raw.... no darks, bias, or flat calibration. Feel free to post your images anywhere. We ask that you credit AG Optical Systems, however.

We have some new Chroma filters on order to reduce the vignetting at the corners but the current data is still very good.

The systems consist of:

AG Optical Systems 14.5" iDK
ZWO ASI6200 with LRGB Ha filters
Paramount MEII

Stellarvue SVX102T refractor
ZWO ASI6200 with LRGB Ha filters
Paramount MX+

Please send an email to AG Optical Systems if you would like access to the data. It is completely free with no strings attached. We will not send you any unsolicited email..... we hate that stuff as much as you do. The email is info@agoptical.com

As we acquire more data we'll upload it to the FTP site.

Thanks!

Dave Tandy

Thank you so much for offering that data to the Astro community Dave. Most of us like to capture our own data, but there are times when we can’t and your data will be really helpful then.

Thanks!
