Popular Post MartinS Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Finally managed to capture some data on NGC2359 last month. While previous years were a weather washout it was great to get a couple of clear nights enabling me to capture this interesting low elevation object. Taken with the TS130/QHY268M rig using Antlia 3nm Ha and Oiii filters, this is a HOO combination of 21x 5min Ha, Oiii frames. While I hope to capture more data next year and reprocess, I suspect the image quality will always suffer due to U.K. seeing at such a low altitude. At least the first one is in the bag. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 A fine image despite the challenges the UK weather gives us. Its a deep image, I like the extended dust/nebulosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 A really nice result of a difficult target. As Steve says I think you need a long focal length to see this visually. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thank you Paul, Steve, Terry and Carole for your very kind words. I have been trying to image this DSO since 2018 but the weather has frequently transpired to block me. Being at such a low altitude, you have to wait for the right weather and seeing. I was lucky this year and am grateful for reasonable skies. May I wish you all every success with your own ambitions. kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
