IC1396

This has been at the top of my target list for a long time and with some dark hours finally returning here I at last got to image it.

I rather wish I'd not bothered - camera was running at +20-22 C and the moon was clearly getting through the L-enhance a bit.

I know its too dark but otherwise the noise level is just absurd! This was intended to be a 3 panel mosaic but I'm not sure if I'll bother - at least not until ambient temperature is way down. Or a dedicated cooled camera drops in my lap.

Anyway, for what its worth this is just over 5 hours of 300s exposures at ISO1600 on My SW 80ED and NEQ6 and Ha Mod EOS700d l-enhance processed APP and PS

I think that's a great effort with a hot camera. Well done.

My first thought~ Stolen camera! Should have read the original post before looking at the image.
