Lobster Claw, Bubble, horsehead and Markarian's Chian.

[Snoani]

I have taken delivery of a couple of new toys this week in the form of an auto focuser and ASIAIR Pro and took the opportunity of a few days clear skies to have a play, while also trying to resolve some spacing issues.  

With the moon increasing in size I decided to focus primarily on H-Alpha filter.  I think that these would have been crisper with less of the moon on show but I am still happy with them and look forward to adding some colour data in the future.  

Horsehead - 29 x 360s light frames in H-Alpha calibrated with darks, flats and dark flats. 

Lobster Claw Nebula & Bubble Nebula - 45 x 360s light frames in H-Alpha calibrated with darks, flats and dark flats. 

Bubble Nebula - 294 x 360s light frames calibrated with darks, flats and dark flats. 

Markarian's Chain - 32 x 180s luminance frames calibrated with darks, flats and dark flats.
