AstronomyUkraine Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 This is an SHO of IC1318, or the Gamma Cygni Nebula in Cygnus. This is my first completed image since February, and it's good to be back. Total integration is just over 20 hours. Processed in Pixinsight, with a few tweaks in Photoshop. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian, love the vibrant colour palette and yes I agree that Bill's new formulae are extremely powerful. This target holds up the colours - it is a butterfly after all !! Good to have you back on the forum and imaging Bryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite surprised by the amount of colour in this target. It was chosen randomly just to give my new mount a work out and to iron out any kinks in it.

The Netherlands have extended the agreement we are allowed to stay in the country until 2024. It's a beautiful part of the Netherlands, so might even stay here permanently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an interesting country. I stayed in both Rotterdam and Amsterdam, and have travelled to the Ijseelmeer, (went swimming there), and to an island (that once was an island but is now part of the reclaimed land, but can't remember the name), Been to Marken, Leiden, Utrecht, Ede (some friends there now) and camped in the Veluwe and cycled all around, almost to Arnhem. Also went to Zeeland and Baarle Nassau. Probably been to more than that as did a tour of the Netherlands with a choir in my teens (which was how I met our Dutch friends. I wonder whether you are anywhere where I have been. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly rural here, so it suits me fine. The sky is not perfect, but I'm in a Bortle 5 here. Some of the places you mentioned, like Utrecht are Bortle 8 or 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
