Been a while since SGL5..... IC1396

[Tim]

But here's what I did there, along with some extra data taken at home.

IC 1396 - The Elephants trunk nebula in Ha

OTA = MN190 + GSO 8"

Camera = SX H9 mono + Baader 7nm Ha filter

Sub Length 600,900,1800 total time 9.5 hrs

Processed in Pixinsight

I've been bogged down at work, so this is just a fast and dirty stack and stretch, but I thought if i dont post an image soon, I will forget how to

Thanks for looking

Wow! Looks like you have put alot of time and effort in to this, and it has certainly paid off!!!

[Coco]

Thats cracker...I love the nebulosity being blown of the head... like spray being blown of the surf by the wind

Fantastic... looking forward to the colour if you get the chance

No funny shaped stars in that one TJ. A superb job mate.

Kelling is rapidly approaching, so I hope your workload eases soon, so you can re charge for the big one.

Whoa, TJ!

Great image.

[ollypenrice]

Yes, that's great. Tight Ha stars look wonderful. What an object, eh? I can't wait to get back to it this summer. Splendid result.

Wondered what you'd been beavering away at with all that lovely equipment. A very fine shot.

[MartinB]

Super deep Tim. Fantastic result

That was the plan, and I do have some S2 for it, but I will probably do it in a wider fov at some point, my summer target has just become available for imaging and I plan to spend quite some time on it and its neighbours.

Real shame you cant gather all the narrowband stuff simultaneously, i'm sure it'd be doable with the right knowhow.

When I win the lottery I'll put 4 Megrez 72's on my ADM side by side bar and 4 H9's and sit back as 4 channels of data stream in... or four lots of the same come in...

Tim suggested this target to me at SGL5 when the object I was imaging was disappearing into the murk so I toodled across to see how he was doing to see a screen full of a zoomed in Elephants trunk in great detail and that was just one sub... I'm looking forward to seeing your finished result Tim - even if it takes a while!

Very nice Tim, it has been a lean time for imaging so far this year I just hope the next couple of months go by quickly so we can get these shor nights behind us

Nice work Tim.

Lovely and smooth with the 9 hrs + time.

What's the target for the summer then?

Cheers
