Dolphin (SH2-188)

[Freddie]

Not one you see too often, so thought I'd give it a go. Only 4 x 20min of each Ha, OIII and SII so far as poor weather has stopped play, so I thought I'd see what I could get out of it at this early stage.

Well done, this is certainly a faint one. Whilst the Ha is bright enough I'm surprised you managed to get any SII or OIII signal.

Looking good so far

New to me. It's a nice object, too. I'm off to do some homework!

Thanks for your comments everyone. I do like to have a go at the less obvious targets and this is a nice one.

As Chris has said, Ha is reasonably strong but S less so and O very difficult. Below are 3 shots to show the relative strengths. All 4x20min stacks with same stretch applied.

very nice! a new one to me also, look forward to seeing this progress...

[Freddie]

Thanks Martin. Weatherman said tonight would be a chance to add to it but it's not looking good.

Lovely object, thank you for bringing it to our attention! You already have a good start, think what more subs would do .........

I haven't really got the focal length for this one but I'd love to give it a try.

[laudropb]

Very nice capture. Thanks for posting.

[Maximidius]

Never seen this one before. For the limited data you sure made the most of it, Seems like it could soak up plenty more. Love the colour combo. Very nice. 

[Freddie]

Thanks for your comments guys.

Yep, more data would be good and may even get some more OIII showing through as it's not very obvious even on 20min subs.

[Space Cowboy]

Remarkable capture Freddie!

[Freddie]

Thanks Stuart. Can't quite decide if I'm going to add to this now or move onto something new. Two more nights to decide before the clouds clear !!
