Well at least that's what Stellariuim says.

I found it a pretty interesting part of the sky.

Stats:
Red, Grn, Ha, O3, S2 1.67hrs each
Blue 8.37hrs
Total integration 18.4hrs

Peter,
Nice image of a popular target
Well done for effort alone !!!
Gee you poured some time into this one
Have you ever though at some stage in the future of adding a cooled OSC into your set up ( like my 2600MC ) they are developing into really good cameras with high QE and in good skies you only need 2 to 3 hours on most nebula to end up with a pretty good image , in fact any target for that matter. Mono will always rule but I like the idea of imaging 2 targets in one night if conditions are excellent or if conditions are limited at least you can get an image out of your night. Just a thought ?

Your image is the Cats Paw nebula or Gum 64
I’ve noticed a few Southern Hemisphere objects on Stellarium have been labeled incorrectly even though the New General Catalogue ( NGC ) numerals are correct
Another example is NGC 3324 Gabriela Mistral Nebula, Stellarium have labeled it the Keyhole Nebula which is incorrect

Cheers

:eyepop: A paw worthy of a high five. Incredible image scale. Not for the faint hearted to guide at that level of details. Jealous. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks M

I started with a ZWOASI1600MC and a dam sight easier to use, that's for sure.
The 2600MC certainly performs, might think about it one day.

Re: Cats Paw. Knew I'd seen it somewhere before :)




Taa muchly Marc.

I really enjoyed the journey, the Ha component was awe inspiring all by itself...

C'mon Martin everyone knows this is the Dog's Paw nebula ;) Dogs rule!

Nice image of it too Peter :-)
