Bubble and friends

Whilst i was getting a close up of the Bubble with my longer setup, I also pointed the widefield setup at the same patch of sky. Image scale is from 2.7-3.4" with the different cameras so not ideal; or at least I don't know enough to smooth everything out and not make it oil-slicked. SH2-157 The Claw Nebula and star cluster M52 are clearly visible.

35 x 10' H, 26 x 10' O and 31 x 10' S

I rejected quite a lot of O due to temperamental focussing and the image is slightly cropped due to camera rotation.

Thanks for looking; c&c always welcomed

That's a mighty fine image. 

Mind if I ask what equipment you used?

Thanks for the comments.  

This is a triple rig that I put together after my father died and I wanted to do something a bit special. The primary scope is a reduced Tak100 with an Atik 16200 and is flanked on each side by a reduced Tak85 with Atik383. Its been a right pita to link and is still very much work in progress.

I'm really sorry to hear about your father. 

It's a great setup you've got there.
