wizard nebula in ha

shot with a nexstar c8 with .63 reducer at 1280mm

on paramount mx+

qsi 6120

18 subs at 1200 secs in ha binned 2x2 for 1.00"/pixel

 

after stacking, when I zoom in on it I see a lot of little artifacts, little diagonal star looking things but I don't think those were in my images. I didn't use any calibration frames.

and the coma especially around the bottom right is bad.

its not a great imaging scope but I wanted to use it for the field of view it give me

coma aside, a very nice image, up close and personal

well done Paul

love the detail and the balance in the nebula, most of this seems to get lost with multi narrowband or LRGB

Very nice detail captured.

I went a little deeper with shadows and highlights and hdr toning. brought out a lot more detail.
