Catalina with Kemble's Cascade, NGC1502 + PN NGC 1501

[physicus]

Caught in the half hour between twilight disappearing and the moon coming up.  Canon 7D, 100-400L at 300mm f6.3.  Tracked, not guided on AZEQ6, 20 x 60s ISO1600, dithered, darks etc. Processed in NebulosityNot the best quality in the world, but given the conditions I'm happy enough.  The PN is the bluey-green dot to the left; chuffed I got that :-)

Great picture. I was just out looking at the comet and it was very faint in my 250px. NGC1502  was nice though.

Nice one like it a lot I do like it when two objects are in the same fov similar to m42,m43 and the running man mmm that's three but you know what I mean,well done.

Brilliant! I'm imaging the very same target at the moment! Fighting with the moon at the moment so will have to wait and see what comes out.

Thanks for the comments guys.  Having stumbled across NGC 1501, I'm now saddling up the C9.25/Atik for a closer look.  That's when I get the OAG / camera spacings etc back to where (I thought) I left them.

Excellent image Tim, took a few practice shots of the location last week but no luck last night.

That's a lovely picture - nicely caught.  I had a go at this myself at a wider field view of this later in the night with a 66mm APO + focal reducer.  I'll try to post my effort later in the week, but looking at your picture, my guess is that it won't be as good as your's.

Cracking image in an intriguing part of the sky.
