Sh2-205 and NGC 1491 in Ha

[prokyon]

Hi folks!

Last weekend I captured 40x900s Ha light. I did not care about full moon and tried this faint objects (especially Sh2-205 is very weak).

Data reduction with Theli, post processing with PS.

This objects are not a great stunner but relatively unknown.

Another confirmation for the good quality of the Canon EF 200 lens.

By the way I did some atmospheric photography with the Canon 5DMkII.

Hope you like it a little.

Lovely shots, you look like you're at a very high altitude. What a view!

These shots are Great!

Especially the second one.

Shall we look forward for the RGB in the Ha Image?!

Thank you folks for the nice comments!

RGB, I will try to do it this night.

... and I did it, 3 hours. To be honest, I am surprised. I did not expect this. I am happy and I will add more data today.

Cheers
