IC4628 Prawn Nebula

[RAC]

I like nights like tonight were you go out without any plan and end up shooting something you've never seen before. This Prawn nebula is far larger than i though it was going to be. Seeing wasn't the best and i was fogged in after 20 subs.

It was also a test as today i stripped the scope, shortend the tube and flocked it. I now don't have odd shapped stars from the focuser being in the light path.

20x5min subs + 46 darks @ ISO1600,

Modded 1000D @ -3degC

skywatcher 8in f5 reflector.

Celestron CGE mount.

Thanks for sharing. It's not something we can shoot from Europe I guess

Thanks everyone. I'm super happy with the star size now, i don't think i've ever been able to get them that small.

Same as the other but more stretched.
