Non modded DSLR, Nebula targets ........

[Viv]

Hi all,

Can you please help / chuck ideas at me ??

I won't mod my dslr, it used for too much other stuff. So i'll eventually be investing in a CCD camera.

In the meanwhile, i'd still like to be imaging neb (even if I have to faff / take more time).

Would anyone please have a list of possible good nebula targets, for me to image ??? (South view is a good, clear one for all evening)

Have a go at M42, Rosseta, Horse Head, Witches Head(I think you could pick that one up). All those are in or near the constellation Orion which is to the SWish atm.

Reflection nebulae. Modding has no effect on these. e.g. Pleiades, Running Man, Witch's Head.

Ive got 1.5 hours on IC405 which hasnt really produced a LOT of detail yet, but i intend on getting another 3/4 hours this evening if the clouds hold out, so will hopefully bring a little more detail out....hopefully LOL

I to am using an unmodded camera so would be interested in hearing the suggestions, anything around Orion is a no go zone for me, since it sits right behind my house, so im N/NE/NW and thats it....so quite limited really!

Good look Scarlet, let me know how you get on!

Thanks all - will look at those.

Have a few stacked so far (monkey head last night was interesting), want to do rough a rough set of images. Then go back re-visit & do a detailed image.

Rosette & M42 are good starting points.

Rosette & M42 are good starting points.

So pleased you put that one - it's out there, pointing at the Rosette churning away at the mo.

Thanks.

There are some gorgeous stars in the rosette !!
