The Nessie Nebula - wide field

[gorann]

When I recently imaged the Loch Ness Monster with my dual-RASA8 rig (link below), my Samyang 135 was sitting on top and this is what it caught during three hours (= until Microsoft decided to update the laptop running the camera). Yet, I am quite pleased about all the dramatic nebulosity it caught, including NGC 6820. No filter so pure RGB.

Camera: Omegon veTEC 571C. 60 x 180 min.

I really like that Goran, super colours and a myriad of stars.

Is that open cluster just behind Nessie NGC 6802? Actually Nessie looks more like a Brachiosaurus to me

Thanks a lot! Not sure about that cluster - plate solving in Astrobin is out of function right now. Maybe a Brachiosaurus. Here is my favorite Brontosaurus candidate:

Thanks a lot guys! @wimvb just pointed out that the Coat Hanger asterism is at the bottom of the image (upside down since I turned the image to get Nessie's head upwards)

The Coathanger is always upside down, so the image orientation is as it should, and Nessie won't get a headache. The image solver on Astrobin also shows that the image orientation is as it should. On AB, the dot on the red rectangle in the sky plot indicates the upper left corner of the image

Yet another target I didn’t know existed, amazing work!
