More madness they call the Squid

[Ibbo!]

Ha /O3 very much work in progress.

I gave up prodding and poking it as I was making it worse, I am certain that there is more to be had out of this data.

so far over 250,000 seconds in data.

I must be stark staring bonkers ( but we all knew that)

Pretty fantastic so far. Clearly visible. You know I might just give this one a go.

Careful Adam,  there lies madness as the original post alludes to.  

I quite like the fact that it is there,   but not there.....   if you know what I mean.

I tried this a few years ago, it wasn't easy and was barely visible in half hour subs. 

Well done

Good start Steve, don't stop now a couple of years should nail it 😂

Thanks all

yes it is madness.

On the image hosting site last year i said I would get an 1/2 decent image even if it took me years and yes it is going to take me a good while yet till I am satisfied.

I've been working on the Cas A SNR for several years ( lost count ) always good to have a WIP

You have done better than me. I still don't have the complete edge of the squid visible.  I also did half hour subs. Have been told you need a 3nm oiii filter.

That is pretty amazing.  Your dedication (or madness) is to be commended 👏

What nm Oiii filter did you use?

That is a damn fine effort. It's a beastly beast

I used 4 hours worth of 30 minute subs at f4 and still it doesn't leap off the screen ! ( 5nm )

Combination of 7nm and 3nm the 3 is better

Excellent image!

I've tried this through both 7 and 3 nm filters.  I captured nothing at all through the 7nm, but the 3nm is very promising.

I came to the conclusion that OIII is susceptible to light pollution and any moonlight (compared to Ha), and I would never have captured it with the 7nm filter.

I did the 7nm in Scotland from home it really is only just above the LP noise.

A very fine capture or should I say lots of captures, really looks like its name too. I imaging to improve on that just another million or so.  Never seen this before, seem to be saying that rather a lot.
