NGC2244 and surroundings

[milosz]

Hi,

I finally managed to find some free time during clear night. It resulted in the picture below. This is 2 panel mosaic. Each panel consists of 25 subs, 600s each in Ha. I would like to add a few more pieces to this mosaic, but it might be difficult this winter. I hope you like it

Acquired with Atik 314L, Orion ED80 and HEQ5.

Cheers,

Very nice, so sharp all over! Did you use a reducer or shoot it at F7.5?

[milosz]

Oh, I forgot to add - yes, I was using WO III. It reduces by the factor 0.8, so the final FL was around 480mm.

Sweet!!

Very nice work.

Nice start I presume you intend to cover the whole nebula.

Thanks guys!

The first frame was just a test shot with new gear, but with 25 subs it looked so nice Because of bad framing I have to shoot 9 panels (instead of 4 with better planning) to cover whole nebula. This might take some time. I'm not sure it I'm patient enough

Do it - if this is anything to go by it will be well worth it (and I bet the 9 panels will frame it really nicely!)

Keep fingers crossed for the weather. This is the biggest limiting factor so far

I do like it very much! Superbly smooth and I'm constantly surprised at the resolution these little scopes produce.

Thanks Shibby!

Here is the new version. I'm not sure if better:
