NGC7000, The Crescent Nebula, M92 & NGC7380

[Chris Graham]

Three nights a clear skies in a row

Managed quite a few new images. All taken with an unmodded 350D between 1-2 hours (subs of 3-5mins) at ISO 400 or 800.

NGC7000

The Crescent Nebula

M92 with some faint galaxies

NGC7380 -

So many stars in this image!!! I was suppose to be taking a photo of the Iris Nebula but I think the Synscan has the incorrect object. Very faint and really need a modded cam to gather more data.

It was a great few nights and next time I'm gonna try for the Iris Nebula.

A very good three nights - lovely images, especially the NGC7000.

As I said on the 'other forum' too Chris, they are very nice results.

Well done!!

Very nice work on all five Chris.

I do like the North American neb. though, very Representative.

Thats not supposed to do that with an unmodified DSLR, you must be doing it wrong somehow. Joking aside, the NGC7000 is flippin' marvelous, the rest are just very good indeed. I'm guessing that your imaging site is blessed with a dark sky?

[Chris Graham]

Actually its not really that dark. I can see the milkyway thought, so may be it is ok.

Hi Chris

Lovely images. Like others have commented, the North American Nebula is a belter. I also love the faint galaxies in the M92 image. I'd love to see bigger versions of these.

Cheers, Martin

Jeeze you have been busy.

Great set of images...

Chris

Very good set of images

NGC7000 is the best

Cheers

Fantastic images! Really shows what can be done with DSLR's!!!

Do you use any filters with the 350 or is it just bolted on the back of a scope?

[anthony]

Lovely images there. NGC7000 a top image. It has got a "something" that other takes on the same target lack.

Chris, you may be able to answer a question here, does the NGC7000 only produce the nebulosity via the picture or can you see it through the telescope?? Lovely shots all of them.

[MartinB]

Love the colour in the NA neb and great FOV of course

[Chris Graham]

I cant see NGC7000 through my 80ED but a short exposure does bring out a small bit of nebula so thats how i frame it.

Dont use any filters,

btw thanks everyone!!

I've seen the NA from a dark site in my C8, but only portions of it at a time. It's a matter of eye training, I think, much like seeing the Veil. It's just so BIG!

[dogfish]

I was trying to find NGC7000 last night using bino's, thought I got it too. However, looking into the milky way there's so much stuff that is shining that it's hard to be certain (this was a reasonably dark site). What made me think I'd got it was I thought I saw the dark "Gulf of Mexico". Is this how other people find it?

Cheers, Martin

[Astroman]

For me, yes. The Gulf of Mexico was the giveaway I had it. I could then move around and see the Eastern seaboard, Canada, California and so on. Even moved over to see the Pelican. A UHC filter helps a LOT.
