So the last week was kind and I managed another couple of sessions under the stars. The lack of dark nights has made this a labor of love indeed. I have gathered 5 hours for each Ha pane so I have managed one of my bonus goals. Total integration time so far is 17 Hours: I may not add any more data to this until the darker skies return :sad: Project status Stage 1 - Complete Stage 2 - Complete Stage 3 - Skipped Stage 4 - 0% Complete Stage 5 - Complete

So I think I may be dreaming but there has been lots of clear nights here recently (and an almost whole week of clear skies forecast to come!) This has meant that I have been able to gather lots of data. I have completed gathering the HA and OIII data for stage one and two. Total time so far is 12 Hours 30 minutes total integration time. I have done a quick process of the data in a HOO palette I am quite happy so far. One side seems lighter than the other so I'll have to work on how I produce the mosaic I can't start the SII stages as I haven't purchased that filter yet so I'm going t

From the album: Deep Sky II
A bi-colour image with Ha mapped to red and OIII to blue. Synthetic green was generated by Noel Carboni's actions. I found that the data was challenging to process since it was quite noisy, it would have been good to have more subframes, but I quite like the overall result. I decided to introduce a bit of colour contrast so the upper part of the image has more red and the lower more brown. Apart from the Veil filaments, two bonus items to look out are a "flaming skull" (bottom left) and a "miniature blue lightening storm" (bottom center). LIGHTS: 11 Ha; 6 OII x 1800s. DARKS: 30; FL -
Pickering’s Triangle (Seimis 3-188) It is a little early in the season to be imaging this object as it didn’t appear above my local horizon until 00:50 when I started the project earlier this month but with nights getting shorter as we approach the summer solstice, it made sense to make an early start even though it took several nights to capture the data while ducking and diving between the clouds and early morning mist! Discovery Pickering’s Triangle is part of the supernova remnant known as The Veil Nebula in Cygnus. The Veil Nebula itself was discovered by William Herschel i

The Veil Nebula is a diffuse nebula located in the northern constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Also known as Witch’s Broom Nebula, Bridal Veil Nebula, Cirrus Nebula, or Filamentary Nebula, it constitutes the visible parts of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. It is located at an approximate distance of 1,470 light years from Earth. In this wide shot you can see the three main parts: the Eastern Veil, the Western Veil, and Fleming’s Triangle (Pickering’s Triangle).

It's always fun to image a new target and it was worth using a rare trip to a place with much darker skies (Kelvedon Common in Essex) to try something a bit more challenging. This could have done with more exposure but nights are short at this time of year and dawn put a stop to the session. 29 x 120 second exposures at 400 ISO (58 minutes integration time). 12 x dark frames 79 x flat frames 21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only) Captured with APT Guided with PHD2 Processed in Nebulosity and Photoshop Equipment: Sky-Watcher Explorer-150PDS Sky

I made it out to my dark site on Friday evening, a few high wispy clouds in the sky but for the most part it was quite nice out. The moon was already low and near setting, and I had just received my new Astronomik OIII filter, so I decided to try and find a few objects that have given me fits from the get-go. I started the night taking a long hard look at the double cluster, something I only recently discovered, and then swung the scope around to Albireo, another newer sight for me. After getting my eyes full of stars, I affixed the filter to my ES 30MM 82° eyepiece. I swung th

I love this time of year but I've been hexed with bad imaging conditions and some equipment trouble so far this month. I was finally able to grab a few keepers and bring you one of my favorite DSO up there. NGC6960 The Witch's Broom. 17-3 minute lights,15 darks and 50 bias frames. Stacked in DSS and stretched a bit in PS. Final tweaking in LR. Hope the processing isn't too scary. Let me know what you think.

Hi everyone, Long, long time since I've posted. Finally some clear skies in my Summer holidays to take advantage of! Full version on AstroBin: http://www.astrobin.com/full/210107/0/ Ha: 28x10min OIII: 32x10min 10hrs Total, Atik 314L+, ED80 I started a 2nd pane in Ha but I'm off back to university now so I won't finish it in colour this year. Thanks for looking! Jordan

What with holidays, poor weather and work commitments, it's been a little while since I've had the chance to do some observing. With the nights really starting to close in again the opportunities are starting to present themselves again. Last night was crystal clear and so I decided to get my SW 100p out and have a view of the veil nebula with my OIII filter. I had used the 100p to view sections of the veil with a 20 mm EP in combination with the OIII filter but last night I wanted to try my 32 mm EP to see how much I could fit in to the field of view. Sure enough, after setting up on the West

I had originally decided to attempt my second Hubble Palette image but abandoned this due to the high noise levels of my SII data. So, changing strategy to a bi-colour approach, I mapped the Ha and OIII data to red and blue, respectively, with a synthetic green channel generated via Noel Carboni's PS actions. I could have really done with capturing much more data but decided to see what I could process out of the noisy subframes. Apart from the filaments of the Veil nebula, I was quite pleased to see what to me looked like a flaming skull (bottom left) and a small blue lightning storm

Hi everyone, Here is the Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC 6992/5), part of a large supernova remnant found in the constellation of Cygnus. You are looking at the wispy leftovers of a star 20 times more massive than our sun which exploded some 8000 years ago. Equipment: - Sky-Watcher 200PDS telescope - HEQ5 Pro mount - ZWO ASI1600MM camera for capture - ZWO filter wheel, Ha and Oiii filters - ZWO 120MM camera for autoguiding - ZWO finder-guider guidescope - Artesky flats box Acquisition: - 6th September 2019 from my garden in Glasgow, Scotland. - 50x120sec with Ha filte

Western Veil (The Witch's Broom) - Unmodded DSLR Quickie
IanL posted a gallery image in Member's Album
From the album: Deep Sky
This is the Western part of the Veil Nebula (known as the Witch's Broom), a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus. This image was taken on Sunday 10th November 2013). The seeing wasn't too great due to the jet stream, and I was battling the moon which was nearly half full and within 45 degrees of the target at a guess. This is an unmodified DSLR version, hence the relative lack of Red/Ha in the nebula.

With a 3rd night of data added, here's another process of the Veil nebula. 34 x Ha, Astronomik 12nm filter, modified Canon 450D 28 x SII, Astronomik 12nm filter, modified Canon 450D 61 x OIII, Astronomik 12nm filter, standard Canon 600D All 4m subs, with flats. Pseudo real colour created by adding all the above as RGB. Hubble palette: R=SII, G=Ha, B=OIII I think this just isn't a subject that lends itself to the Hubble palette. Also I'm not happy with my processing. I went heavy on star and noise reduction, but that's blurring the fine lines of the nebula too. I suspect this is one I'll revi

After several weeks of not pulling out the scope I was pleased to finally have a chance to hit a clear, dark sky location. Red Rock State Park in California was the location du jour - a Bortle 2 location I hit when ever in this part of the country on business. Conditions were great with temperatures in the low 80s (F) and negligible winds. A light haze lingered on the horizon due to stronger winds earlier in the day. After judging conditions were OK when M65, M66, and NGC 3628 were all visible a great night began. I had wanted to do some deep deep observing so I searched SkyTools3 for qu

How's going people? Long time since last post due to bright Swedish summer nights, gear-tuning and automation fiddling, but now I'm up & running again. I'm starting off the dark season with one of my favorite targets inside the cygnus loop, NGC 6992, east veil nebula. The subs where acquired during three moonlit nights, all subs unguided. (shooting other targets too, so subs are shot when the target is in the highest position in the sky, thanks to ACP automation) I've only used two filters for this image, Ha & O3 (both 5nm). I mixed the color close to Ha/O3/O3 as R/G/B , with slight di

I had a quick go at the Witch's Broom on Sunday (10/11/13). Seeing wasn't too great, and I was battling the moon which was within 45 degrees of the target at a guess. This is an unmodded DSLR version, hence the relative lack of Red/Ha in the nebula. I've pushed it as far as I think I can without turning the whole background and fainter stars completely red.
