astro mick Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Tried unsuccessfully to emulate Steve on this target. Using a WO Zenithstar 73 with An Atik 314L+ and a Astronomik Ha Filter 12nm to capture 16x600 sec images. Then switched to a ED80 with and Atik 320E to capture 6x600 RGB. Located fairly easily with platesolving the prop did show with short exposure with the Ha filter. Calibrated with Flats and Bias frames. Certainly a nice target for dark skies.(If only). It was imaged over two nights. Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having rotated and flipped my image to match the orientation of yours, it is interesting to note the intensity differences between some of the star formations and chains comparing my very narrowband with your RGB. You have some nice detail captured here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located in Cygnus. RA = 20.16.08 Dec= +43.40.42 I don't know wether you use plate solve,but these co-ordinates will put you bang on. Mick.
