GUM 53: Fighting Dragons in Natural Colour

[MarsG76]

Hello All,

Before I imaged this nebula in narrowband, I begun with imaging the figthing dragons in natural color by gathering OSC subs through the IR cut filter.

This is imaged at 2032mm focal length, through the 8" 8SE, with the Cooled modded 40D DSLR.

Total exposure time was 4 hours 15 minutes in one night. 

 

Clear Skies everyone,

MG

It's in the constellation "Ara", and looking at the Starmap, it's also a southern sky object, never comes above the horizon from Europe...
