pietervdv Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Good evening all, Long time without a post. Due to circumstances I was not able to do any imaging the last 4 months (breaking both your arms is no fun! ), so I am happy to share a new image! Last week there was a stretch of 3 clear nights with some very stable seeing. This object has been on my bucket list for a long time, so there was no escaping it anylonger. It is a very nice "waterfall like" hydrogen ripple in Cygnus, called DWB145. This is a 2 panel mosaic. The image acquisition was done with SGP. As always I have kept processing to an absolute minimum to maintain the most natural look. The calibrated panes were stretched (levels & curves + minor high pass filter) and stitched in Photoshop. Scope: 10" f/3.8 Astrograph CCD: sbig st8300 (-10°C), it was over 20°C at midnight! Filter: Astrodon 5nm Exposure: 14 hours in 20min subframes Mount: Mesu200 For the pixel peepers, the full resolution (5847 x 2396) version can be seen here: Full resolution Anyway hopefully you like it, thanks for checking it out!

PatrickGilliland Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 First Ouch! Hope you are on road to a full recovery. Sustained double leg injury previously and that was bad enough can imagine a lot worse with arms! Nice return to the imaging - the 'ripples' are nice and create some texture on the shot.

ChrisLX200 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yes nice texture, sort of reminiscent of supernova remnants. I had to go plate-solve it as I was curious as to exactly where it was ChrisH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
