IC1805 - a start in Ha

[antimorris]

After my focus testing last night I did a little narrowband work before the clouds rolled in, although with my 12nm Ha filter I still get some interference from the moon, but it wasn't TOO bad last night so I did a couple of hours on IC1805. I still have a ways to go, but did a process on the data I had so far. I do plan on doing full narrowband and might do a small mosaic to get the whole Heart - but that will depend on how many clear nights I actually get in the next couple of months.

First I have to get a couple more hours on Ha to smooth it out some more, but here is where its at so far.

Details:

Scope: Orion EON80ED

Camera: Atik 314L+

Filter: Astronomik Ha 12nm

Integration: 135 min (9x900s)

Anna, that's extraordinary, I really like how you've captured the large complex of faint nebulosity around the Heart. I can't wait to see the finished results.

Very nice, looks like you got the focus spot on, it's very sharp

Lovely shot Anna. Great detail. Trevor

Off to a flying start Anna, I am looking forward to see this one develop

Couln't agree more with the other comments - A superb start... (One word of advice - Try not to get sucked into a mosaic! The 80mm's a much more sensible FOV though )

Andy - after my last mosaic project I am not too keen to start another whopper, but maybe a 2x2 (at most), but for now I plan on getting more Ha and then SII & OIII for this action first
