The Bubble at 1370mm fl

[Adreneline]

At the beginning of the week I image (amongst other things) the Bubble Nebula:

Last night I used my new GSO 6" RC to image the Bubble. This was my first serious attempt at imaging in NB with the RC.

This is 24 x 180s of Ha and OIII unguided! Not wishing to make excuses but I'm still getting to grips with focusing the RC, I'm not sure I've nailed the collimation and I should really be guiding so I'm placing a lot of faith in the CEM25-EC operating at 70% load capacity.

As ever all comments are welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for looking.

Thank you! Glad you like it. I've got to say it worked out better than I expected.

There is some lovely detail in the bubble itself. Thats a great first serious outing with the RC.

Thank you Mark and Martyn. Hopefully once I've nailed the focus (Bahtinov Mask needed I think) I might reveal more detail - seeing permitting!

It's certainly different working at 1370mm fl compared with what I've been doing with my Samyang 135mm over the past two years.
