Popular Post Dmack1 Posted October 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) After over 6 weeks without a break I finally got some clear sky. Also no moon so decided to try my very first Dark nebula. The weather did not really co-operate and between passing clouds, me forgetting what to do and some technical issues because of a new imaging PC this ended up at only 3.5 hours. I think it would need at least double that to start bringing structure to the nebula. But at least its a start and some of the nebula is showing. Not sure why the brightest stars are bloated? SW Evostar 80ED, ASI2600mc, NEQ6, Optolong L-Pro, 70 x 180s C & C appreciated. Edited October 12, 2021 by Dmack1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much about the stars, most of the images I have seen of this target have large halos around the stars and are bloated to an extent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
