IC5146

[astro mick]

Hi.

I aquired this image of IC5146 over two nights,the second night being last night.The skies in East Yorkshire have,nt been kind of late,and i had to wait over two weeks to complete.

It was taken using a Altair Astro 102mm Triplet and a Atik 314L+ ccd camera.

It is a Ha/RGB image.

12x600 secs for the Ha, 9x600 secs for The Red and Blue,and 6x600 secs for the Green.

Calibration was applied althougth i did not use darks.

I do like the scope,but even with a Triplet the Blue Bloat of  the larger stars still presents itself to some extent.

Cheers.

Mick.

Nebula looks pretty good but the purplish colour in the stars needs some attention. Good effort.

I bought a used 2” Baader 7nm filter off here a few weeks back, it’s working really well I think.   Works down to F2.8
