Coathanger in the dust.

[ollypenrice]

I took this last night with our first Finnish guest, Rauno Paivinen. Nice and easy, 5x10 per colour and 4x10 luminance. I also used the synthetic luminance from the RGB to enhance the luminance layer. We were pleased to so much dust in the background, given the esposure time. No noise reduction needed. The tiny cluster is NGC 6802, left of the asterism.

Olly and Rauno.

Looks quite dramatic! Nice subtle colours.

What telescope is this?

Saw the coathanger the other night, where did all those other stars come from?

Great shot, love your dark skies.

Hi Jesper. This is with the 106N (or should I say one of the 1O6N's since we now have a second one on long term loan. ) Hard life!!

Nice image - good detail (as I would expect) and good star colour

Very nice indeed. Lovely star colours as everyone has said. And a favourite asterism of mine to boot
