Bubble & Friends - Smash and Grab (130pds)

[Uranium235]

Had juuust enough clear sky over the last couple of nights to put this one together, with the fourth pane done just in time before the clouds rolled in.

Still a bit of a smash and grab effort and it stands at one 1 hour per pane (x4), but im hoping that later this week I will be able to take that up to 2 or 2.5 per pane which should help clear up the noise a bit.

For a change it was nice to be setting up earlier (getting dark at 9pm now), so projects stand a better chance of being completed in one or two nights - rather than it being stretched over two months! Having said that, the weather has been a bit pants lately so Im grateful for anything at the mo!

Bubble, Sh2-157, M52 and NGC7538

6x600 (Ha) 2x2bin x4 panes

130pds, NEQ6, Atik 383L+, MPCC MkIII

More to follow when conditions allow.

Thanks for looking

Hi Rob, That's a super image, great start

[Uranium235]

Cheers Francis   Theres actually a bit more going on in this image than I first thought as Ive looked at an annoted version of this area and didnt realise there were a couple of LBNs in there as well.

Lovely work, as usual, Rob!

I shall try some Ha again - one day and when I get a mono camera.

That is a great wide field image. You certainly maximised on the limited time you had. Can't wait to see this one develop as you build it up with more data.

There is so much to see here that you have spoilt us Rob! It really does look good so far - A super image that stands up on its own merits in mono

Thanks Sara   There is a good chance I might be able to add more tonight... well according to the telly anyway, the internet forecast says exactly the opposite. The bubble pane could also do with some of the data replacing since it was taken under strong moonlight (it sort of shows on the overlap).... but thats just me being picky!

You're getting far more clear than we are at the moment - We've had cloud and rain for days and days....... I'd be better off in the UK!!
