IC 1396 from Kielder

[Starflyer]

Here's a belated image of IC 1396 taken at Kielder this Autumn, it's quite noisy and could have done with more subs.

WO ZS80 FD / TV 0.8x reducer flattener / Badder modded Canon 450D

EQ6 Pro, guided with a WO ZS66SD / QHY5 / EQMOD

6 x 900s subs with darks, flats and bias.

Cheers,

Ian

NIce one Ian, didn't hear you talk of this one when we were there.

Thanks for the nice comment John.

Hi Gary, I took it on the Saturday straight after dinner while I was waiting for it to get 'properly' dark so I could move back onto M33. I got some M45 data too at the end of the night but the guiding wasn't too good so I haven't bothered stacking it yet, might have a play later.

Cheers,

Ian

I love to see the Elephant's trunk shown within the wider nebula. Well captured Ian

[Dangerous-Dave]

I'd be very happy with that. Great shot.

Does this man ever stop? - great colours and sharpness once again, Ian.

Great work Ian, you forget how big IC1396 is until you see these "wide" angle images!!!
