Wolf Rayet 134 in Cygnus (bi-colour)

[pietervdv]

Hello all,

Last week I collected some o3 data from Southern France during my annual astro imaging field trip with 2 other imaging friends. The o3 shell in WR134 is very faint and could use even more exposure time. The HA data was made from my badly light polluted home locating in Belgium. I included a pic of my setup I drove 1000 km to get there.😀

 

Equipment: Homebuilt 10" f/3.8 Astrograph with Wynne corrector

Mount: Mesu 200

Sensor: ASI-1600MM-cool cmos -10°C

Exposure: 14 hrs (5 min subs); unity gain setting

Filters: Astrodon 5 nm H-alpha / Baader 4,5nm OIII  7 hours for each channel.

Channels assembled as HA:O3:O3

 

Thanks for checking it out,

Best regards,

Pieter

Excellent image. WRs are fascinating objects. I'm pleased someone is imaging them.

 Nice image, going to try it myself.

Just wondered about the wooden tripod , i have always wondered about flexure and expansion and contraction in hot/cold weather does this happen?

The Berlebach Planet is made from Ash wood and extremely stable, it can carry 120 kg without breaking a sweat. Been very happy with it.
