astro mick Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 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. Mick. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan potts Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 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.

Davey-T Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assouptro Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 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 Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I should have rotated the camera to include NGC6993 but was all focussed and working,so just left alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
