From the album: PESKYWAABBITS DSO's
My first planetary nebula, M27/NGC-6853. I know there is some room for improvement, but the clouds rolled in. Very happy with this so far from my unmodified 1000D. Bring on the winter months -
From the album: Deep Sky III
This image consists mainly of Ha with a small amount of Lum also blended into the central region in order to to better resolve the stars. The corresponding LRGB image with an Ha blend in both the Red and Lum channels, can also be found in this album. It represents 5.5 hours integration time. -
From the album: Deep Sky III
For my second attempt on M27, I used my new Esprit 150/10micron GM1000HPS combination (the result of the first attempt is in my Deep Sky album). This image represents about 10 hours integration. From a processing perspective, I decided to blend the Ha into both the Lum and Red channels using an Adam Block technique that I learnt through his "cosmic canvas" tutorial videos. Since the Ha is very strong and would obliterate the RGB information I decided to only blend a small amount into the red channel. Since I was interested capturing the faint outer halo, I decided to raise the level in this particular region. I was reasonably happy with the result - you can just about make out the outer halo, star colours are reasonable and you can see some inner structure to the nebula. LIGHTS: L:9, R:10, G:8, B:7 x 600s. Ha: 8 x 1800s. DARKS: 30; FLATS:40, BIAS:100 -

From the album: Deep Sky
Acquired in June 2015 whilst setting up my new obs. At the time, I couldn't figure out how to process the image, so the data had been been waiting for my PS skills to improve. In Dec 2015 I decided to have another attempt, however, this time I decided to try processing the star layer separately from the nebula. I also decided to change from using Maxim DL for the calibration and stacking to CCDstack2+, mainly because I've been impressed by the data rejection results of CCD stack. I also decided to separately stack the RGB channels from my OSC to see if this would improve matters. LIGHTS: 27 x 300s; DARKS: 30; BIAS: 100; FLATS: 40 all at -20C. -

M27 (Dumbbell Nebula). Processed using DSS. Hardware details: Camera: Nikon D200. Telescope: SW Evostar 120 with Baader UHC-S filter. Mount: AZ-EQ6 guided using a ST80 synguider. Image details: Lights: 39 x 3min at ISO 800, Darks: 20 x 3min 20sec at ISO 800 (from dark library), Lights and darks separated by 30 sec intervals. Flats: 40 x 1/40s at ISO 800, Bias: 30 x 1/8000 at ISO 100 Date of capture 30/04/2016 & 08/05/2016. Increasing cloud stopped imaging after about 1 hour, some wind, seeing was reasonable. The second night was less cloudy but transparency was much worse. Guiding was not great in RA but fine in DEC, PA was ok - I think I might have knocked the scope at some point in the night. The second night gave better auto guiding. I increased the saturation by 25% and manually aligned the colour channel histograms. I stretched the red colour histogram more that green or blue to increase its contrast. This helped bring out some of the nobbled structure within the nebula. 2x drizzling was done on DSS.© D Elijah

The Dumbbell nebula (M27). Processed using DSS. Hardware details: Camera: Canon 600D. Telescope: SW Evostar 120 with Baader UHC-S filter. Mount: AZ-EQ6 guided using a ST80 synguider. Image details: Lights: 40 x 3min at ISO 800, Darks: 20 x 3min 0 sec at ISO 800 (from dark library), Lights and darks separated by 30 sec intervals. Flats: 50 x 1/50s at ISO 800, Bias: 50 x 1/4000 at ISO 100 Date of capture 05/06/2016. Atmospheric transparency was good. Auto guiding was stable. I increased the saturation by 25% and manually aligned the colour channel histograms. I stretched the red colour histogram more than the green or blue to increase its contrast. The 600D is astro modded so does pick up H alpha in the red so the result is far better than the old D200. 2x drizzling was done on this stack.© D Elijah

Love this little nebula, always a joy to look at and always a frustration to photograph as it never seems to go well, with either gear failure or weather getting in the way every time I try! -

Hey! I took this last night, as it was pretty clear for a change! Equipment used: 130pds, Star Discovery Mount (alt-az), 1300d, DSS, Lightroom, Photoshop. Total of 33 x 30 second subs. 20 x Darks, no Bias. 20 x Flats. Processed in light-room and photoshop. Thanks! -
I have fallen out of the habbit of getting the scope out regularly over the summer and spring, partly because I've had so much going on this year and also because of the lighter evenings. However yesterday I had noticed it was going to be clear and so when the Mrs headed off to bed I made my excuses and went downstairs to get the scope out. I've lent my 127 mak to a friend and so I was using my 150p Newtonian on an AZ4 mount. As I was setting the telescope up I remembered that it was the Perseid meteor shower, so I grabbed the 10x50 bins and a hoodie and sat down on a deckchair to see what I could see, by now it was about 10:45. I fiddled with the planisphere for a minute or two, swept around with the bins and settled back to let my eyes adjust to the relative darkness. I was soon rewarded with a lovely coloured flash heading roughly north south, this was followed by couple of smaller ones which I half saw. From my back garden location east of Reading the sky appeared darker than recent nights, although I'm afraid I didn't work out the naked eye limiting magnitude, I must get into the habbit of doing that one day. The transparency was abnormally good and I could see hints of the milky way running overhead, which is rare indeed and I could see stars much further down to the southern horizon than normal. After about 20 minutes of watching for meteors I was getting a bit cold and got up from the deckchair to have a go with the scope. As I got up there was a very bright pass of the ISS I think it was 23:03 to 23:05 I thought to look at my phone after it had faded to note the time. I managed to grab the bins in time to get a good look at it. I lined up the scope using the telrad and 10x50 finder on M11 (one of my favourites), and when I looked up as I moved around to the eyepiece and there was another bright perseid I had caught a look at M11 last week, but this time it was clearer and the background darker, using the 15mm eye piece dark patches clearly visible among the stars that make up the cluster. Last week I tracked down M27 in Vulpecula, something which I had seen before but not properly appreciated at the time since it was just something I raced over using my 127SLTs goto function when I first got it. It had taken me 10 minutes or so to find last week, so I was pleased that with the remembered orientations of the main stars in Vulpecula through the 10x50 finder I was able to locate it in a couple of minutes this time. I found the 25mm eye piece to work well on M27 this time, at lower magnification it seemed to have a little more defined shape than when I used the 15mm before. Sadly it was a "school night" and I'd not planned the morning off or started earlier, so I knew that I'd better try and be in bed for 23:30. I quickly swung the scope around to have a look at M13 (I think I prefer the view of M13 through my 5" mak rather than my 6" newt), then packed up and headed in for the night to write my notes and go to bed. Unfortunately my mind was buzzing too much from the great ISS and perseid show to get to sleep quickly and the Mrs far too asleep to be interested in hearing about it. I'm now looking forward to getting the scope back out again soon. Tyr

Cloudy tonight so just having a look at how to find stuff easier next time . I made these for M27 and M56 ...
