IC1396

[Roy Batty]

After what has seemed like far too long a break for me I finally got the chance to get the scope out and do some imaging again last night.

As this target is big I was using the ED80 for image capture - so at F7.5 I decided to up my sub length to 10 minute subs, but to counter the 350D's noise reduce the ISO to 400 - I must hasten to add that the camera is unmodded so the nebulosity is somewhat muted. But, I'm happy with the overall effect and it was a worthwhile experiment as I mainly image using the C8-N so it was a bit out of my comfort zone .

Here's the details:

Prime focus DSLR on ED80, 11 X 10 min subs @ ISO400

Guided using QHY5 on C8N using PHD

Processing: DSS, PixInsightLE DBE, CS3
