![]() Processing was just quick and dirty, nonsense to waste hours and hours on that. The result is not that great, but for just two 15 minute subs it is quite awesome. I found two OIII frames on the computer, shot the same night as the ha data. Mount: iOptron CEM60 "Standard" GOTO Centre Balanced Equatorial MountĪ happy new year to all the people here on flickr. Telescope: Takahashi Baby Q FSQ-85ED F5.3Ĭamera: Xpress Trius SX-694 Pro Mono Cooled to -10C I did capture some data with the luminance filter but never used it as it did not add anything I ended up using the Ha as the luminance layer.Ĭaptured by David Wills at PixelSkies, Castillejar, Spain Ha 62 x 600s Pretty pleased with this as it was captured in not the best conditions there was some high cloud when capturing the RGB. M42 in all its glory, this is a composite of two images one for the main part of the nebula and one for the core detail. Guiding: Starlight Xpress OAG with Lodestar X2 Mount: Astro-Physics 1100 GTO CP4 on concrete Pier You can see a part of the outer shell.įilterwheel: Starlight Xpress (7 x 36 mm)įilters: Astrodon L, Astronomik Ha + OIII (6nm) Despite the small amount of data, this looks promising, I think. The image shows M57, a small planetary nebula in Lyra. A camera with bigger pixels must be fitted. The 2 m focallenght with the small pixels gives me a resolution of about 0.4 arcsec per pixel, which is totally oversampled. This gives me the possability to build a small roll away shed for my imaging rig. ![]() The pier itself is only about 20 cm (8") high.

Guiding: Starlight Xpress Maxi filterwheel OAG Camera: Starlight Xpress Trius SX-46 (-20☌) Telescope: Takahashi FSQ106EDXIII at f/5 Interesting to note that while the light from the near side of M31 takes 2.5 million years to reach us, the light from the far side takes 220,000 more years to reach us which is longer than humans have existed on earth.Īcquisition Date: October 8th to October 14th 2018 Chester, Nova Scotia The galaxy is estimated to be 2.5 million light years distant and is estimated to be 220,000 light years across with a halo weighing in at 1.23 trillion solar masses containing over a trillion suns within its boundaries. I was visiting an old friend in Nova Scotia and I needed to come up with a wideband target quickly and M31 won out.Ī large spiral galaxy in our “local group” of galaxies named for the mythological princess Andromeda and located in the constellation of the same name. The 4th and last time I am doing this target. The nebula is about 10.4K light years distant. I captured the head of the lion in the narrow field of view, which the is the brightest part of the nebula. Sharpless 132 is a faint Hydrogen II region, emission nebula located on the southern edge of Cepheus. Object: Sh2-132 – The Lion Nebula HST – 2020 Designations: Sharpless 101, Sh2-101, Cygnus Star Cloud, The Tulip Nebula It is called the Tulip Nebula by astrophotographers because it resembles the outline of a tulip. Sharpless 101 is a Hydrogen II region, emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus.
