NGC2237 - H-A/OIII - El Bosque Spain

[NickH]

Just got back from a few days at the observatory in Spain. Amazing skies again, have a shed load of solar, lunar and planetary stuff to process...but here's one from Friday night.

NGC2237 in H-A and OIII. SII it dropped below the tree line before I could get it.

10x7 minutes in H-A and OIII only, no flats as yet..

Stunning Nick !! Well done

[RichieJarvis]

Absolutely stunning Nick - sooo sharp - how big is the original?? I bet you can zoom right in!

[ollypenrice]

Stunning - a really exciting rendition.

I know an EL Bosque from cycling in Spain. Is that in the Pueblos Blancos region? A campsite at the bottom of a hill below the village? Trees grownig both oranges and lemons? Funny what you remember.

[NickH]

Olly yes it is...very beautiful part of Spain..

Richue it's 2048 x 2048 original...and thank you!!..

It could do with some SII

[MikeD]

Great result Nick, though it seems a shame to travell all that way to dark skies and then image in narrowband.

Fullish Moon Mike... ergo had to.. or make a call to swap filter wheels at midnight, which would have meant more flats etc...

[MikeD]

Ahhh, the moon...... with you now.

Mike.

This is lovely, Nick - looks much deeper than the time actually expended but then I guess the clear skies must have helped here! Nice rich colours too, like it lots.

[NickH]

Thanks Steve

Here's one of the 7min subs...give you some idea of the skies

It looks like its on fire, very exciting rendition as mentioned!

how does it look if you do Ha / O3 / O3? or maybe even Ha / O3 / Ha+O3 ?

[NickH]

TJ it is H-A OIII OIII, will try to get the SII by next Dec :-)

Simple stunning! Nice just doesn't cut it. I'd love to see/learn more about this observatory that you're involved with Nick? Thanks for sharing.

Mel, it's going to be all revealed very soon...collaboration with John Griffiths at the RGO and Andy Burns of The Herschel Museum
