IC1805 - Heart Nebula in Ha

[VilleM]

Plenty of Ha in this target, taken last night with ASI1600MM-C, Boren-Simon 6" f/2.8, HEQ5 autoguided with ASI120MM. Filter was Baader 12nm f/2 hingspeed Ha.

46x180s (2.3 hours)

Wonderful detail. Would you mind sharing the camera settings used for this. I have the 1600mm on order.

Great start   Are you going to do a mosaic to get the rest of it in?

That's very good indeed, great result! I'm particularly impressed with the detail and flatness of field given that it's shot at f2.8 with a 12nm filter. That lovely scope looks to be well worth the price tag and yet again I'm loving the output of the ASI1600MM - it seems CMOS sensors have definitely come of age 

I'm seriously tempted to get one of these cameras after seeing this and the results @Gina gets from hers,   I find the chip size and small pixels a very attractive proposition for widefield imaging.

Excellent work, you must be very pleased! Like Gina I would love to see a mosaic - go for a nice big widefield taking in the Soul as well 

All the best

Thank you!

Im planning to do mosaic, atleast for the heart nebula only. I dont know can I do one that has soul in it aswell because there is very few moonless and clear nights in Finland.
For widefield this camera is great, Im also impressed how good the detail is. Here is 100% crop from the center of the image, no sharpening or noise reduction.

Im using unitygain settings on SGP.

Nice work and that detail does stand up well under magnification. Paddy
