The Tulip Nebulae

[astro mick]

Hi.

I took this image last week on a clearish night here on the Yorkshire East Coast.We have had a lot of cloud here,and clear skies are few and far between.

I used a modded 1000D canon fitted with both 12nm  Ha and O3 clip filters.I took about 30 2minute subs,as the chips sensor was reading +18c.This was for both filters.The scope was an ED 80.

Unfortunately i had to bin a third of the images as their was too much noise.The ones i used soon proved that too much stretching to reveal the Nebulosity was hopeless.

The O3 Filter resulted in absolutely nothing,just a tad if i really stretched it hard,and it looked awful.

So basically just Ha.

I did calibrate with the normal calibration frames.

Maybe better with darker skies and colder temps.

Cheers.

Looks nice Mick, sitting well there at that FL in my opinion.

Yes very nice Mick.  I have data for this 'in the can' and waiting to be processed and seeing this might just spur me into action!

Not bad at all given the challenges and limited data.
