Kemble's Cascade & NGC 1502

[Macavity]

My neighbour's, neighbour's, neighbour (don't ask!) finally trimmed my neighbour's 15' high

runaway hedge. So I can now actually see (and video image) things West of the meridian.

Long wondered about this.... "Kemble's Cascade" - So here it is via 135mm f/3.5 telephoto!

As ever: Watec 100 x 2.56s (internally / externally) stacked and variously post processed.

And here (inset enlarged) NGC1502 "Hidden treasure 23": Steve O'Meara's "Jolly Roger".

(Same camera settings, but with [more usual] 8" / F4 photo-Newt from a previous night):

P.S. "Sharpening" telephoto image with yellow filter made... absolutely NO difference. LOL

Idem attempts to add star spikes with pair of crossed black wires. More thought needed! 

[Starlight 1]

That come out ok for adding  star spikes I like it, I was thinking about doing this last year with a star filler But the one I have is not the right size.

One of my favourite binocular objects. Good to see some asterism capture and a great presentation with the different focal lengths for the two 'objects'.

You've captured the 'waterfall' effect nicely Martin. Perfect FOV too.
