Here is my mono image of the Iris Nebula, 600s subs with an Atik 383L+ and UV/IR filter.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Paul, I think it's more to do with the camera than the operator though ?

[paul mc c]

First of all, beautiful image! now that edge on galaxy, i'm surprised you spotted that, because boy did i have to focus my eyeballs good, and then, i took a magnifying glass to the screen!.

But it is there, that may be a hard target to identify seeing as (or barely seeing) lol it is so faint and small.

Hi Mark

 

Thanks for your comment.  I used a Skywatcher ED80 Pro, with the SW 0.85x FF, working out at about 510mm (although my plate solving program says 522mm) at F6.37 approx.  27 subs stacked, 27 x 600s.

I forgot the most important comment after the identification of the galaxy - lovely image and it looks stunning in mono

Thanks Steve for that!

The whole image still looks dark, I think I'm missing a trick (or three), need to get your book out again after the summer lull.

Nice tight stars to the corners and plenty of dust,  If you had framed slightly different you may have also caught the gouls.

Very nice image. Any plans on adding colour later?

Thank you Michael. I have 3.5 hours of colour data that I will try to cobble together with this mono image. 

I might treat myself to registar for my birthday.

I’m (in my head) planning a 3-pane mosaic of this over the LBN468.

Very clean.  It feels like I am peering upward into the night sky.
