Dmack1 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Another short break in the clouds allowed me to get some time on a new target for me. This is only 90 minutes of 180s with the ASI2600mc but I think that for that integration time its not too bad. I was astonished at how much of the blue part of the nebula was standing out considering that this was Monday of this week and so moon was still 90%. I am starting to fall in love with this camera - if only I could get some real time on something to do it justice. 30 X 180s, SW 80ED, NEQ6, ASI2600mc, 2" L-eNhance C&C welcome 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 That's a lot of detail and colour for 90 mins. Very nice👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Very nice image and impressive that it is only 90mins of data. The new generation of colour cameras has definitely improved the likelihood of complete images for U.K. enthusiasts. During the Initial years in this hobby my main achievement was the generation of incomplete data sets and I was lucky if I achieved a handful of decent colour images. The future is bright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Very good for 90 mins, I think a slight star reduction would help tame the big ones and bring out the nebulosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicki Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Really really nice! The colour of it all is amazing especially that blue contrast within the nebula itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the comments folks. @Vicki yes I was astonished to see so much blue all things considered. But i have a confession to make - when i went to next use the scope the L-enhance was not in the train - it never had been. So the above was not, infact with the L-enhance, which rather explains the colour in the stars. @MarkAR I wnt back and did a full reprocess - knowing it was not filtered I did Photometric Colour calibration and did a bit more star reduction. Resulting in: I prefer the colours in this second but I like how much more nebulosity shows in the first.
