astro mick Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Last monday night the sky cleared around midnight,not perfectly but enough to tempt me out.Orion was due South so thought i would have ago at M78. This is a Reflection Nebulae,and is full of dust.The forecast gave 2hrs before the clouds returned,and they return they did.Using my ED102 and Atik 460ex i took 6x 600 secs in Red,and 6x 600 secs in Blue.No Green and no Luminance. I know there is a lot more Dust surrounding the Nebulae,but it would need many more subs to do it justice.I rarely return to an object for more than two nights,because they are often weeks apart,and moving West which is blocked for me. Calibrated as usual. Mick. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceph Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 A dark sky helps with the dust helps, I suffers from some light pollution and will never get the dusts, hopes you have a better site and will get what you wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan potts Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 That's rather lovely, feel given more clear sky this has more to offer in the darker areas Mick. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
