IC1396 130P-DS DSLR

Hi

This was not easy to process compared to my usual black sky/dso images and it needs way more data I feel. I started out with 300s subs but my guiding was unusually good so I went for 600s. Definitely a narrowband target.

19x600+8x300

Definitely worth upping the exposure on this, as you can get away with it at this time of year without much heat buildup. Odds are you were probably scraping the ice off the camera at the end of the night...lol.

Ha! Beats my feeble attempt into a cocked hat....

I was surprised just how faint it was on each sub. The light pollution is my limiting factor, although not that bad, the 600s subs looked a little washed out so I might have lost some contrast.

Well, I can chuck some Ha over to you if you have the tools to register/resample it   (registar).

Actually... give us a sec... I'll map it to the pic you posted above. Will PM you in a few min.

Thanks. But then it wouldn't be mine

I feel a spending spree coming on...

Have sent it, give it a go - even if its just for practice in how to do HaRGB

Thanks Rob.

Wow nice one.

I have been thinking about giving it a go myself, but wasn't sure if an unmodded dslr could capture it.

Is yours nodded?

It is modded. Even then I was surprised how faint it was compared to something like the Eastern veil.

Here it is with Rob's Ha data...I like it!

Very good. I concur I found this a tricky one even with 600s subs.
