NGC 5070

[astro mick]

Hi.

This image was taken a couple of nights ago.It shows NGC5070 otherwise known as the Pelican Nebulae.

This is the first time i have attempted this target.

It was taken using my ED 80 at F7.5 and a Canon 1000D.

The temp of the camera never dropped below 25 degrees.

It required full calibration using Bias/Darks and Flats.

I took 36 x5min subs with my modded 1000D,and 30 x Ha using a clip filter.These images were beyond noisey,and i thought unuseable.

However i had nothing else,so tried some noise reduction scaling.Mixed results but i used them.

Cheers.

Mick.

That came out really nice. This is usually a cooled mono ccd target. So, excellent result with a hot, modded dslr.
