Elephant Neb HOO

[simmo39]

Well for what seems an age I finally got a few clear nights! allthough I had done this target last season I thought I would give it another go but this time using my new Fav scope the SW ED72. Athough its still a little noisey I do like the result. I have been trying to use less stretch and I think its working. So to the boring stuff.  49 x 4 mins Ha and 61 x 4 mins Oiii taken with ASI 1600 mm at unity gain. I will add Sii later but cant play out tonight as its an early start for me tomorrow.

Hints tips and advice most welcome

Thanks for looking.

Thank you. Still could do with more subs.

A great image with some real depth to it.  Nice FOV as well.  The OIII seems to have got a bit lost in all the Ha.

Thanks Martin

Yes I think you are right, Oiii was taken on not the best of nights. I did think that the extra 30 mins of Oiii over the Ha would make the difference but no, still need more.

I like it.

Very nice - very smooth and natural looking.
