IC1848 Soul Neb HA 10" Newt WIP

[Astroscot2]

Iv'e been making the most of the clear nights recently despite the moon getting in the way a little.

I saw an image of this area some time ago on SGL and was amazed by the detail captured, seems there is a lot going on in this part of the sky .

Managed 32 x 15 mins over 3 nights, imaging runs were interrupted often, but happy to get 8 hours in.

Taken though Orion CT10, ASA Quattro corrector, F5.4, SXVH 694 camera and Badder HA filter 7nm.

Needs a little more data for another stretch, noise is starting to creep in.

Cheers

How do I upload an image rather than a file attachment?

[PeterCPC]

Convert it to a jpg or png then you can "choose files" and do a direct upload.

Wow that’s really detailed! Really makes me want to get my 10” back out again.

Great image with lots of wonderful detail.  

The ‘dashed’ diffraction spikes are interesting - are they the result of the strong filtering out of shorter wavelengths in the spikes ?

Hello Mike,  I'm not sure however the double veined spider may be the culprit??

 

FYI, I note the image looks very dark almost clipped on my monitor at work ???

You will get that effect in narrow band with a Newtonian, it shows very good focus. Diffraction spikes in broadband are normally like a rainbow effect, I get it clearly when I image M45 but when you use a narrow band filter you only get the red portion of the rainbow resulting in holes in the diffraction spikes.
