Vicki Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Winter is on it's way shortly and I can't wait to get a hold of this again. Core has blown but I knew that was going to happen. I was after dust that night in February, and I certainly wasn't disappointed! Very sensitive camera. I'm going to (hopefully) grab lots of short subs for the core and I'd like a little more dust. I'll see if I can make this a little project, but I'm thinking we may not get enough clear nights to just work on one! Anyway, this is 2 hours and 51 minutes(180s subs), no filters, in Bortle 5 skies. Stacked in APP and processed in Photoshop SW72ED, HEQ5 PRO. Lightwave 0.8 reducer/ flattener, Hypercam 269c pro TEC. (SharpCap) Starwave 50mm and GPCAM2 290C for guiding (PHD2) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does winter start so early in the UK now? 😀 It's a great target and not as easy as people think to get a good image, your image looks excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonyme Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Lovely picture. That little flick of nebulosity front and centre that often looks dark, shows loads of detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Lovely work Vicki, some short subs blended in will work wonders for the core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
