NGC 7358 to Cave HaSHO

[Rodd]

Not happy with fine scale noise and chromatic infidelity.  Showing promise though.  Should be smoother and less Chunky with 25 hours.  

FS! 106 with .6x reducer and ASi 1600 130 300 sec Ha; 101 300 sec OIII; 77 300 sec SII

You are very self-critical there Rodd, looks a great image to me 🙂

Well, I prioritize imaging--Perhaps I should start ApA (Astrophotography Anonymous).  In case someone takes offense at a jest of this nature.....I assure, I am not jesting.  As far as clear sky--lately I have gotten more clear sky than is typical for me.  This past year I averaged about 2 nights/month.  When using the C11Edge it was particularly bad, as that setup is very sensitive to even the slightest breeze.  So between LP, wind, clouds, and the full Moon, imaging time was rare.  Lately--there has been improvement.  I hope it continues

A very nice image, but it is not NGC 7358. It is NGC 7538. I might note that a NASA press release of 2014 uses both numbers in different paragraphs, so it is not at all uncommon; just unfortunate.

If they came up with a better name, people wouldn’t make these kind of mistakes! I must have realized it because I have it right on my Astrobin page. I’ll change it, though it did generate a comment!

Edit: Nope, can’t change it. I guess too much time has gone by
