Carastro Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I did this image once before but wanted to get a bigger FOV This is the original image done partly from home and partly from Kelling Heath. https://www.astrobin.com/full/ympjw0/N/ Davey T and I got together at his place which is Bortle 6 compared to my home location at Bortle 8 Still needs bags more data but don;t know when I will get another chance. Probably doesn't bear too close an inspection. Ha 23 x 600 (3hours 50mins) RGB each filter 8 x 150 binned (1 hour) Total imaging time 4 hours 50 mins WOZs71 + FR x 0.79 Atik460EX and HEQ5 https://www.astrobin.com/full/i9nyfx/C/ Edited July 21, 2021 by Carastro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 That's lovely Carole - what focal length did you use. I didn't get very far trying to copy your success with a 135mm lens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 It was a William Optics Zenithstar 71 scope, no idea of the focal length I'd have to look it up.

TerryMcK Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The WO ZS71 has a focal length of 418mm if that’s any use 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame Neil. Carole It's too small and my sky background was too bright, It's here in the middle, but no detail just smudges. Perhaps one for Notgrove if the cloud gods are kind!

Carastro Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Where were you imaging Neil? Looks a bit like the area around the Tulip. If so l found that area disappointingly fainter than other regions in Cygnus. carole Edited July 21, 2021 by Carastro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 According to Stellarium it's smack over the Flying Dragon! 21h22m 38"42' Somewhere roughly halfway between Deneb and Cygnus's lower wingtip.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
