RCW 102 a faint H alpha region in Norma

[tornado33]

Hi
With a new update to Star Atlas Pro, http://www.skylab.com.au/version_6_2.html
I went after some of these new H alpha regions. Heres RCW 102, the large faint arc near top, with the much brighter Planerary MZ3 lower left.

1 x 10 min and 1 x 15 min ISO 1600, EOS300d, 10 inch F5.6, baader UHCS and Lumicon Coma corrector.
I have never known that MZ3 was near a larger faint H alpha region. With the new Star Atlas pro update there are literally heaps of new H alpha regions to be imaged that Ive never known of before.

Did Eddie do RCW 102 a couple of months back? It sounds familiar.

Another great shot Scott, you've been a bit quiet lately!

After our midweek conversation I see that you have been busy, even with the moon still up. Nice work Scott

Thanks, and I had everything against me, the moon wasnt yet up but not only was the dig track operating, but the upgraded floodlights at Wallsend Park were on too :(.
I see Eddie has a nice shot of RCW 105, one thats not far from RCW 102.

Wow Scott, that looks like one faint nebula.

But then you always seems to try the tough ones,:D And succeed. :cool:

Well done :prey2:

Nice work Scott

so what's your take on the Coma corrector now?

[tornado33]

Thanks.
I believe the Baader coma corrector is better, with virtually no coma at all. The Lumicon one I have here cuts the coma by about half I think with my F5.6 scope.
