A Rough n Ready NGC40

[Chris]

Scope= C8 Edge @ F/7 1422mm focal length.

Camera= Canan 350D full spectrum modded.

60 x 30sec

No guiding, No darks or flats, No IR or LP filter, No processing other than DSS hence a bit rough and ready

NGC40 is also known as the Bow Tie neb and it lives in Cepheus

Its a tiny little PN, so small that I've had to crop the image a fair bit even at 1422mm focal length.

For just 30 second subs Chris and with a dslr you've picked up a good signal, this target is perfect for you're edge, but you will need longer exposures you may even pick up the faint filament jet that is ejecting out!

Yes indeed, great image, particularly in the circumstances

Hi Thanks I'm definately going to start guiding now I've decided, I've put it off for way to long being content with 2 minute exposures at short focal length. At this kind of focal length 30 seconds is a struggle so its giving me a bit of a push!

Thanks Gina, its not amazing but I thought it was worth posting as you don't see this object posted much?
