NGC1333 wide field

[lux eterna]

This one is a composite from two of my telescopes :

• Meade LX200-ACF, FL 1600mm, F7.8 (with reducer) 55x10 min = 9h10m @ iso 800
• TS Imaging Star 71, FL 350mm, F5 186x200 sek + 4x300 sek = 10h40m @ iso 400

The two images are aligned with Registar and blended together in PS. The small APO is attached to the CW bar so I can image with both scopes simultaneously. I previously posted the LX200 closeup image here :

This is a lovely image, Ragnar - I love that reflection nebulosity.

Thanks Steve, appreciated ! I like this target too because it is so colorful - even with broadband imaging.

Great image Ragnar.

Very nice indeed. The reddish background gives a nice contrast to the main nebula.

Tack Wim !

Now when you mention it, I was not aware the background was that much off balance. So I just spent a few minutes more with it and I think I like it better now, with more neutral colors.  What do you think ?
