carastro Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Another gem from Cygnus, been meaning to image this for some time. It is often imaged in with the Butterfly Nebula etc but rarely imaged on it's own. Taken over two nights from home (Bortle 8), bit of a Pain for me being near the Zenith as I have to keep taking the dome off being a clamshell design and it is no mean feat. Atik460EX, Skywatcher ED120 + FR x 0.8 HEQ5 Ha 26 x 600 Oiii 11 x 300 binned Sii 12 x 300 binned Total imaging time 5h 50mins taken over two nights.

Xiga Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Just to echo Peter's comment above Carole, i also love the colour palette on this one. Bright and colourful, right up my street i have to say! A special mention as well on the stars. They look especially natural, and not disc-like, which is so easy to do on NB images. 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Foreman Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Yes I like the colours on this one as well. Very natural looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carastro Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Thanks Guys, I really did not know what to expect on this one as there are few examples around on this scale. So I was quite surprised and delighted when I managed to pull out the yellow sitting on top of the blue as I had no idea it could look like this. Glad you all like the colours as I have to confess to being a "bright colours person" and that's not to everyone's taste. Quote A special mention as well on the stars. They look especially natural, and not disc-like, which is so easy to do on NB images. Thanks Xiga, I should have mentioned that I was using the Baader Ultranarrowband filters which I have been very pleased with. I only got the full set in the last few months and they do give slightly smaller stars too. I get very little practice at Broadband living in Bortle 8, so when I go to Astro camps which I shall be doing twice over the next two months to capture the targets I can't do from home I do struggle with the larger stars in LRGB which I am not really used to. Watch this space (literally). Carole Edited September 2, 2022 by carastro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
