Sh2-112 in bi colour

[swag72]

This is faint for sure. I've been surprised at the amount of data this has soaked up. I rather fancy looking at this with a longer focal length at some stage as there's some interesting structures in the central nebula.

This has ended up as a bi colour version, purely due to our awful weather that we are having at the moment.

Details

M: Avalon Linear Fast Reverse

T: Takahashi FSQ85 0.73x

C: QSI690-wsg with 3nm Ha and OIII filters

25x1800s Ha

20x1800s OIII

22 hours and 30 minutes total exposure time.

There's a larger version here if you'd like to see it http://swagastro.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/3/7/23377322/sh2-112_bicolour.jpg

That's a really lovely shot Sara...that central region sort of reminds me of the Pacman. I'll look forward to seeing your C9.25 turned onto this at some point.

Fantastic image again Sara! I'm sure you'll eventually do the core at a longer focal length,

Vibrant image, living up to the promise of the Ha data of your previous post.  I love the relief the dark nebula brings, breaking up the symmetry.  I agree with your thoughts - definitely worth investigating with the longer focal length.

Thanks Pete, E. and Barry - Glad that you like it.

@Pete - The C9.25 has moved to pastures new - Won't be that scope doing the longer focal length work any more

Saw this one pop up earlier, that's well crisp. Good work Sara!

Great image yet again, Sara. You've nearly SWager palletted the whole sky now, haven't you?!

I'm sorry to hear that the C9.25 has left the stable. Not surprised though. Good luck finding the replacement, I will follow that story with interest.

[swag72]

Thanks Rob and Gav.

There's a C9.25 replacement already, it's just not going to make it out here until Novemeber!

Ooh ooh ohh... You can't just leave it at that... Pray tell all!

Nothing grand Gav, just a run of the mill 8" RC.

Very interesting. I look forward to First Light. Good luck with the new toy, when it finally arrives!

Spikes.......!

Spikes.......!

.... I guess that life is full of compromises!

Really nice vibrant image Sara

Enjoy your new toy!

Very exciting image (and new scope!)

In this one, which I like very much, I just wonder if you're into saturation at the top end of the brigtnessses?

love that image Sara

Great image as ever, can't remember if I've welcomed you to the RC club already, but if not you're going to love it.

[swag72]

Thanks folks - Glad that you like it.

@Olly - Not sure that I get what you are meaning here - Can you elaborate for a numpty?

@John - Don't welcome me yet, I've not got it and you'll have a gut-ful of my questions
