The Heart in SHO

[Budgie1]

Finally, a clear night and it's now dark at 18:00!

So, I went for IC1805, the Heart Nebula using SHO filters. I took 25x 300s images with each filter and then had to call it a night as I was working this morning.

The data looked clean and needed very little noise reduction. The kit consisted of: ZWO ASI1600MM Pro set to -10°C, Gain 139, Offset 50, WO Z73 III with adjustable flattener, on a HEQ5 with belt mod. Filters: Baader 3.5nm Ha, Baader 4nm Oiii and Baader 8nm Sii

Captured with APT, with PHD2 guiding and stacked & processed in PI.

I think this is the best image to date using the newly acquired ZWO ASI1600MM Pro.

C's & C's welcomed, as always.
