Hi All
I have just started another 3 part project, this time it is the nebula complex surrounding the star Sadr. While I was waiting for NGC7000 to clear a neighbours tree a couple of weeks ago I managed to get an hour of this and a couple of nights ago I managed to get another 4 hours of Ha data (luckily this subject has already cleared the tree). This area is awash with hydrogen clouds and there is a lot of intricate detail. As with my previous images I will be adding the OIII and SII data as time and weather allow.
This is a total of 15x20 minutes with a 5nm Ha filter using the Starlight Xpress H36, an FSQ106ED at f5 on a Paramount ME with auto guiding done via an OAG and Lodestar with dithering. Please check out the full res version on http://www.pbase.com/imaging_the_heavens, just click the thumbnail picture and then click on the "IC1318 - Sadr Nebula in Ha" thumbnail at the bottom of the page
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
