Cygnus Loop OIII wide-field

[Gina]

Just 7 lights of 2m at ISO 3200 and 23C plus 33 flats. 1100D with 200mm f3.5 lens.

Changed to greyscale, tweeked a bit more and cropped rather than resized in PS.

Well done on capturing that. Do you have an OIII clip-in filter now?

[Gina]

Thank you I may do some Ha tonight if this darn cold I've got lets me. AND if I can get my gear to work!

[ollypenrice]

I hope you do get the Ha for this because it is showing lots of promise. Pickering's Triangular Wisp is nice and clear. (Oh I love writing Pickering's Triangular Wisp...

Only astrobnomy has such wonderful terms!!)

Wow!! Awesome!!

[Gina]

Thank you both I got some subs last night but nowhere near the number I'd hoped for. Lots of finger trouble (or more like addled brain!) then the dew Sky was nice and clear for a change but no breeze and the dew was horrendous - worst I've known it. I lost two hours trying to get things sorted out - all sorts of silly things - I was tempted to give up but these clear nights are so rare that I just had to try. Took darks following the lights and have just taken some flats. Clean forgot to take bias frames while it was dark - should have done that before the darks - oh well... I expect it'll all come together one day

I've ordered some nichrome wire and connectors to make up some dew heaters.
