The Eagle and the Swan.

Imaged with Paul Kummer who drove the telescope (remotely for him) at my place and did the stacking and calibrating. My post processing.

This is all one shot colour with no additional Ha. We tried using some old Ha but preferred the natural balance between emission nebulosity and dust.  109 x 3 min subs. (5.45 hours.)  TS 2600 camera, ancient EQ6 (because the Avalon has packed up!), RASA 8.

Full size is here. I think the RASA has resolved fine nebular detail very well. See what you think.

The full res image is stunning. The RASA certainly earns its keep.

The resolution on the 'Pillars of Creation' is incredible.   As the proud owner of an increasingly ancient G11, I am glad the old mounts get the odd outing!
