vdb152 closeup

This is maybe a little close for this object, and not helped by being cropped due to a dull rotational accident on a third of the subs. I would like to have another go using a widefield setup so I can pull in the tail and some of the surrounding LDNs. That said, it is nice to see some detail through what always seemed to be high hazy clouds.

Taken at 1200mm with my SX_H694 over a few nights as I tried to weed out the poorer subs and still give myself enough to work with. In the end this effort is 105 x 300" Lum, and near enough 50 x 180" each of RGB. Ha was a total write off and i struggled with the bright star and reflections especially in the blue at this focal length. Overall it is my first image since building my new obs so at least i have it ready for winter and nice to have the opportunity to use it 😉 

Thanks for looking.

Excellent shot - in particular taking the difficult circumstances in consideration. We often see widefield images of vdb objects (or other reflection and emission nebulae), but actually they also provide a wealth of detail, as you demonstrate here. Not to talk down the widefield images - they just have something else to offer. Really nice to see a closeup.
