Hi, weather has been excellent for about a week now. Here is two finished projects from my remote observatory in Finland.
Both can be viewed larger on my blog: www.evenfall.space/post/eye-of-cepheus and www.evenfall.space/post/whale-galaxy
Iris nebula:
Skywatcher Esprit 100mm f/5.5, EQ6, ZWO ASI1600MM-C, TS Optics LRGB.
L: 274x120s, R/G/B 100x120s each. Total exposure time 19 hours.
Whale galaxy:
Skywatcher Esprit 100mm f/5.5, EQ6, ZWO ASI1600MM-C, TS Optics LRGB.
L: 90x120s, R/G/B: 30x120s each. Total exposure time 6 hours.

Chatting on here about possible darker sites near me and came across the CPRE light pollution survey which you can contribute to this week.
I’m going to rope the kids in & thought I’d share the link:

Date taken: 22-23 March 2020. Camera: Astro-Modified Canon 600D. Telescope: SW Esprit 100 with Field Flattener and Baader U-HCS filter. Mount: AZ-AQ6 mount Image: 41 light subs (3 minutes each with 15 sec interval) with master dark, Flat and bias each made from 80 subs. Comments: My second attempt at the Iris, a target that I have always found difficult. I can now start to see some of the detail that others show so well in their images. I am very pleased with it!

Hi everyone - it's been a while!
This has been on my hard drive for almost 2 months and I finally got round to processing it...it was quite optimistic of me to try and image this from my Bortle 7-8 back garden, but I gave it a go! While the nebula itself is clear to see, all those gorgeous dust clouds surrounding it were extremely hard for me to capture from my location without a lot more integration time. I think I'll head to dark skies to capture this one next time, along with some more focal length!
LRGB shot with ASI1600MM Pro and WO Z73. 2.9 hours of integration time.
Full details here.
Thanks for looking!
