NGC6992

[astro mick]

Really stuggled with this object.

Taken with a WO 73 and an Atik 314l+ ccd camera.

I took 12x600 secs in Ha and 6x600 secs in R/B.It clouded up so I created a false green channel.

I did,nt frame this right as I have,nt included NGC6993.

It does seen to have a red tint as well.

I did calibrate with Bias and Flat frames.

Further processing seems to create a blotchy image.

Very surprised no took the time to like this or write a comment, I rather like it Mick I imagine it just got missed by people. Want to try this myself but am reluctant to swap scopes over after the 805mm seems to be working well enough. And PA seemed to take me an age.

Thanks very much Alan.

I know what you mean,if it aint broke don't fix it.Time is too precious with this lark.

Nice image Mick,  as Alan said this slipped past me, I usually keep an eye out for your mages, maybe a bit under sampled, don't know as that would make it blotchy though.

Framing wise just rotating the camera should fit most of it in diagonally but I'm sure you're aware of this.

Hi Mick

Great image. like Dave says, rotate the camera and stick with it. This is one of my favourite dso’s with lots of of ha and oiii in it. 

I too have a 314, it was my first Astro ccd and it’s a great camera, if your guiding allows you to take longer sub frames,do it, you won’t be disappointed. 

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Dave.

Yes I should have rotated the camera to include NGC6993 but was all focussed and working,so just left alone.

Thanks Bryan.

Have now rotated the camera,and on the next clear night I will revisit this supernova.
