NGC 7000

[PaulB]

Good morning all,

 

I was very fortunate to finally grab some photons last night. The skies were clear, and I was  thankful they were. It's been too long since I did any CCD or DSLR imaging.

 

NGC 7000 and IC 5067/70. Just about fit into the field of view of the EOS 1000D with my ZS 66SD and .08x reducer flattener.

 

Seeing  was pretty good. At 23:30hrs I spied the Pleiades rising. And to their left sat Perseus and Cassiopeia. A sign that we are now headed into Autumn.

 

This picture is a stack of 8x600 second exposures with flats added.Capture was via SGPro, PHD2 guiding.

I took particular care not to over do the red nebulae seen here, during processing in Startools and CS5.

 

I need to add dark frames when using a DSLR. So I will make sure I do that next time we get a clear sky.
