Messier 76 in HaOiiiRGB

[emyliano2000]

This year, because I love small targets and especially planetary nebulae, I decided to start shooting a few to see how they come out with my AT106 and Qhy183m. I'm quite oversampled at 0.72"/px when shooting at 690mm, with the qhy183m,  but In order to get a nice looking crop I decided to drizzle x2 for the crop and reduce the wide view photo to its original size. 

The first finished target is M76, The Little Dumbell nebula. 

With a total of 35 hours and 40 minutes, it's my longest integration time that I’ve done on a single target. 

I have a few more of these small gems in the making but I really wanna do at least 30 hours on each one, so that might take a while because of all the good weather we've been getting in the UK. 

I shot it in HaOiiiRGB, stacked and combined in APP and processed in Pixinsight and photoshop. 

I really like it, I hope you do too. 😊

I'll add an astrobin link with all the details later when I upload it there.

Thank you! Even though I'm not even close to being "up there" where a lot of people on SGL are, I decided to try and put a bit more effort in my astrophotography and even though I can't afford more expensive things to make my life even easier, I'm just gonna do my best with what I have and if that means I need to shoot much longer to get the results that I'm after, so be it. I've gone passed the stage when I wanted to shoot 10 targets in one night. Now I only shoot 5 but that's because my veiw is very restricted 😂😂
