NGC5189 Ha with RC14 ***bi-colour image added

[Maurice]

Here's a 2hr & 40min shot in Ha of NGC5189 with a GSO RC14.

One is a reduced full frame; the other is a centre crop at 100%

Seeing started great at 1.7" then quickly deteriorated to 2.4" or so..

Seems I only get enough decent skies to get data for one filter.

GSO RC14 @ 2830mm fl. QHY9 + OAG + ZWO 120MM Baader Ha

8x1200s subs dark subtracted + DDP

Very nice Maurice, is this near the field of the Liberty Nebula?

[Maurice]

Thanks Colin.

Kind of near that field..
about half way between the southern cross & the pointers & a tad further south towards the SCP.

Looks good Maurice - the detail is very promising. Hope you get some colour because this is really a very pretty planetary.

Cheers

Maurice, that is incredibly good. Super-sharp, very well processed. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Best,

Thanks very much Steve. I managed to get about 60min of OIII & have cobbled together a bi-colour image with a little added RGB from an experiment in lucky imaging with a smaller scope. Still a really noisy background...I think it just needs more data.



Thank you Mike & Trish.
Trying to make the best of minimal data with this one. Even the tiny 100% crop version loses a lot because of compression. The other view is a 50% reduced crop showing a bigger field.

[Atmos]

It is a fantastic little object you've captured there :)

[RickS]

Great detail and nice colour, Maurice :thumbsup:

[Placidus]

Bicolour version is also excellent. Congratulations.

Looks great.

I imagine they are hard to capture being so small and faint.

Greg.
