Contrasting Nebulae

[Jim Smith]

Two images from a couple of days ago. Darks only with relatively short exposure time. Skymax 127 on AZ-EQ5 in alt-az mode.

The Running Man Nebula. Nikon Z50 1500mm f/12 ISO3200 15x30s

 

 

The Crab Nebula. Nikon Z50 1500mm f/12 ISO3200 33x30s

Very nice already (esp. star colors around Crab Neb.), shows if needed that AP is possible with Alt-Az. I hope you will add more subs to those, they deserve to gain more depth and detail.

Thank you. When processing I left the colours alone and trusted the camera to have got it right on "direct sunlight" white balance.
