IC 360 in Taurus

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

after a very long time of abstinence I am back here. Motivation for astrophotography is not always the same. I did nothing in months. But now my love for astronomy is back. I bought a new telescope (TeleVue 127) and started with a session for two nights with the Canon EF 200LII.
I tried to capture a very faint object, IC 360. Between Plejades, Hyades and California Nebula there is a lot of dust. My picture shows a part of it.
Done with Moravian G2-8300FW, 35x600s L and 15x300s for every channel in RGB.



Regards

Thanx! Pay attention to the bottom left corner. You can see there a little blue ball. This is NGC 1514, a planetary nebula.

Nice area to image this is, if you have a short-ish focal length and a good (dark) sky. The Perseus molecular cloud has been on my hit list for a couple of years now, but Ive never been able to do it justice - well, not from my location anyway. I'd have to travel to get any hope of bagging this one.
