A quick Pelican in RGB

Recommended Posts

The Pelican Nebula imaged from my back garden in the Mid Wales. I've just re-fitted my 12in F3.8 Newtonian ready for a new seasons imaging this is the first shot taken. I still prefer it in the HST the pallet over RGB.
Exposure time was 1hr in each RGB, 6x600s with the H35 CCD. Processed with Pixinsight and Photoshop. 
Comments welcome Thanks for looking

Looks great for only 3 hours of data. The stars look amazing, even more so in the full res version.

Thank you.... Yes my scope is a bit of a beast at F3.8 and although the H35 has a relatively low QE over some of the latest cameras its main advantage are the 9un pixels.

I have a 12" f4, just need a better mount to use it for imaging. With all the accessories on it, it will be close to 20kg, which is the limit of my mount.

 Yes, I have mine an a big mount with all of i ts kit and the oversized tube mine weighs just under 40KG. I had fun lifting it on to the mount the other day by myself!!
