Butterfly Nebula - IC 1318 - Canon 350D

[jcm]

130mm APO at F6 and Canon 350D at 800 ISO.

10 X 3mins + 10 X 4mins.

Rather murky sky , so came out with more noise than I expected.

Nicely doen John , fits the FOV nicely

Thats was supposed to be one of my targets for lastnight... still go the RA/DEC cor-ords written on the back of my hand with permenant ink .... but I got distracted... I noticed last nights images were much noisier than the night befores...

Nice shot John, you can certainly see why it's called the Butterfly from that image.

Great framing and FOV, and you've kept some very natural star colour too.

Cheers
