Nearly there now

Just a few bits and bobs to fill in to square it all off, and perhaps another row along the top for the rest of the Veil?

57 hours and still going!

It looks great Martin - I know I've asked this before, but how many exposures for each pane and how long?

[Shibby]

Quite an achievement! Where on earth did you find 57 hours of clear skies!?!

Only 4 exposures of 15 mins each, the data depth isnt great but viewed on a laptop screen it looks ok...lol

As for the 57 hours, I'm observatory based so can take advantage of any clear bit of sky, I hav actualy stood outside the obs watching the gaps in the cloud around Cygnus and hit the button when it passes over the target. Some nights I have only managed 1 sub, but thats one sub less next time

I was going to ask the same as Sara. You've probably said in the past but I must have missed it.

I too want to know where the clear skies are coming from !

That's a very interesting region right down at the bottom. I've not noticed it so prominent before. Are you aware of a number for it ? I must go and take a better look there myself.

Thanks for posting your results so far. I won't ask if you're going to do the other channels

Dave.

Crossed posts. Cheers.

The bright "blob" in the bottom centre(ish) is the Tulip Nebula SH2-101

[martin_h]

There are lots of bits and bobs all over.....

[davew]

Thanks for that.

The area I'm looking at is the very large mass between and above the Tulip and over to the Crescent. I know there's a Barnard's dark in there but can't find more details. Perhaps there aren't any.

Have you processed that differently to the Butterfly ?

Dave.

Damn. Crossed again ! I think the bit I'm after hasn't got a number. I would go with a 250mm camera lens so would want the lot.

Amazing image.
