The Ring Nebula

[orionoffelt]

I imaged this sub on Thursday Morning the 53% Moon didn't help it was my first time imaging at F10 with my Celestron 280 mm CPC scope and I managed to capture 3 hours of 10 minute subs at ISO 1600 with my 400D modded camera with a UHC-S filter this sub looked better than the stacked 3 hours I think with the Moon out and then Sun rise and a high ISO the didn't help the stack. This sub had little processing with no darks or flats subtracted.

Nice capture.

If the skies are kind tonight then the ring neb is my 1 and only aim, so desperate to see it.

It is a spectacular sight in an eyepiece

Plan was scuppered last night due to a serious amount of cloud.

Its raining at the mo. so tonight is looking doubtful.
