Beautiful colours, great focus and an all round excellent image - Love it.

[Dave Moulton]

Thanks for the comment . Its not often I get the opportunity to get 6hrs of data on one target in the same night. I have to pick it up early to do it beforre obstructions in the garden come into play

What were your sub times with the different filters?

[Dave Moulton]

Hi Sara,

Sub times were all 10mins. Each filter managed 2hrs of data. As usual though the Ha dominated and had to be toned down a little. The Narrowband filters are Astrodons BTW

Stunning Dave - puts my Heart Nebula image to shame:)

Well worth the time spent on it.

Hi John. A good target for your modded camera mate

cheers for the comment

Cheers for the exposure info Dave - I thought the subs would have been longer than 10mins - Good to lnow you can collect so much data in that time.

[Dave Moulton]

Hats no problem. Glad you liked the pic.

Im currently imaging but the wind is up to 14mph and gusting higher than that. Just about coping with it. Ic 410 is the target for tonight

One night?!?! Only 6 hours?! I've obviously got this all totally wrong...! I thought I needed at least 6 hours or so for each NB filter, and with the fainter stuff, probably 20+ min exposures... (back to the drawing board for me I think!)

Oh, excellent image by the way... (only 6 hours?)

[Dave Moulton]

The image that inspired me to take this was 20hrs so i was happy to get this.

Cheers Andy

Cheers guys Im flattered by all the positive comments.

You tend to like the narrowband pics or hate them.

They are not for everyone
