Barnard 39 in Monoceros

[pietervdv]

Hello,

After 4 months the clouds have finally parted this week! To get back into the saddle,I tried my luck on Barnard 39 in Monoceros.

A faint area often neglected next to the cone nebula complex, with some nice contrasting dark filaments.

SGP was used for image capture, all processing was done with APP (first time using this program / I am an instant fan).

 

Scope: 10" f/3.8 Homemade Newton on Mesu 200 mount

Sensor: ASI1600MM-Cool cmos camera

Exposures: 8.5 hrs in 300s frames (unity gain setting) / captured over 2 nights.

Thanks for checking it out,

Regards,

Pieter

Interesting target, nicely done.

Good stuff. Despite my recent efforts, I like neglected and unusual objects. ??

That's a fine image Pieter.

Thanks! Always interesting to image something else than M42 and the Rosette Nebula in the wintertime I reckon, haha.
