A quick M1, The Crab Nebula

[Ant]

Managed to get out for an hour tonight.

The scope has been out for a week or two and survived the storms OK.

Still getting some shift between scopes, but I'm hoping that the ADM side by side system I'm getting will fix that...

So I limited the exposures to 5 minutes and binned them 2x2.

I ended up with 10 x 5 minutes in Ha. I need lots more data, but I've got a fair amount of detail. So I'm quite happy, but as always need more data!

Cheers

I think there great and you are so lucky with the weather, it's thick cloud here in Thourrock Essex

keep sending the pictures there really good and cheers me up

Doug

[Ant]

Cheers guys, got some gradients in there as well that I'll try to get rid of when I add more data.

Doug I'm only about 20 miles from you (Canvey)... Surprised you didn't get any of the clear spell. It actually lasted a lot longer than I thought, the cloud that came over that prompted me to pack up actually passed very quickly.

But I'm pleased with the detail in this.

I might add OIII and Hb next time I'm out.

That's very nice, lots of detail. It was clear last night for an hour here too, but high thin cloud disuaded me from setting up.

Great shot Ant,real nice clean deep detail.

I had a clear patch but the sat24 images lead me to beleve it would not last, wish I had made the effort now.

I have Amanda to thank - she told me to go out. But she did confuse me a little she kept refering to kit that that I didn't know I had...

What are these eyepeices that you refer

Going to add more data tonight... Shame I have work tomorrow.

Not bad for quickie

Lovely image Ant.

[barkis]

Lots of tendrils in there Ant.

It's only going to get better, so I hope the

weather plays ball with you, to get the extra data.

Colour too?.

Ron.

[Ant]

Yeah I'll see how the evening goes and then maybe add some OIII data.

I'm not sure what M1 is supposed to look like in colour... Does it have colour itself.

I don't think anyone knows for sure Ant.

Have a look at this, and try to match it.

That's brilliant for an hour mate!!

This has been on my list for YONKS!!

[MartinB]

Love those filaments Ant. Nicely processed as well. Was that with your ED100?

[Ant]

HI Martin,

Thanks for that!

Sorry I forgot those details. It was the H9 though the 6" F5 Newt.

Went to try and get more data last night, but I had three screaming kids running round the garden while trying to set up. The goto wouldn't work and then it clouded over

Me too Daz. Looking forward to having another bash!

Cheers

Cracking shot Ant, especially for only an hour’s worth of data. Your processing is great too, lots of fine detail in there J
