IC4592 Blue Horsehead close up.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

IC4592 The Blue Horsehead is faint, very faint at 800mm F/L.
Even with 8 inches of astrograph!

Played with this image for a while to bring out the faint extended nebula.
I've also supplied a wide field to show IC 4592 in context and a single sub to show how faint it is.

8” F/4 astrograph , baader type 3 coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D plus cooler box. 48 subs x 2 minutes at ISO 6400. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop Cs2..

Cheers,

Justin.

Probably not the best Nebula to image at this scale.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice work Justin! That 1100 does a great job at 6400 iso. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rod!:thumbsup:

ISO 6400 is good for the faint stuff.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nicely done Justin! surprisingly not much noise for ISO6400, I suppose being cooled would help that a lot as well.

Thanks Rex!:thumbsup:

It's been cold plus the cooler makes it easier.

Cheers,

Justin.
