part of ic 2944 but not sure which bit

[TrevorW]

I took this last night using the QHY with the 80ED instead of the Rc trying a bit of wide field and my alignment was a bit off so I'm not sure which bit of Ic 2944 I got if any

are those dark lanes in the image of some processing/capture error

19f 6 minutes each 3d 30f 30b but still not happy

C & C welcome for sure on this one

Looks good Trevor, not sure which bit but it looks OK.

That looks like a pretty faint object Trevor. What is causing the gradient in the second image?

[TrevorW]

Not sure about the gradient I had a fair amount of moon glow around I processed it out of the first image

Humi's image here can show you the extent of the chook Trev

I think I remember seeing a site where you could send them and image and they would identify it

Trevor I checked it out in WWT...seems you "missed it by that much".

The triple blob is IC2872 & the larger neb is Gum39.
Attached is a screen grab with my ED80 field showing.

Mystery solved :)

Gee was'nt that far off I was sighting with a red dot finder etc etc

oh well interesting as not much data on either of these but tracked it down in Cartes no VB shown for either

thanks Justin
