Wide field Snake Nebula

[ozstronomer]

Taken under a three quarter moon, the snake nebula and surrounds

1.5 hrs Canon 20d and W.O. 72mm Megrez with Televue flattener/reducer.

I had to play with the colour due to the close proximity of the moon.

Thanks for looking

Nice wide field Geoff. It worked out pretty well considering the moon. Isn't it strange how it is always clear up here when the moon is full!

You're making the most of the limited opportunities, Geoff. Good work!

Thanks Peter and Rick, nice to get some imaging time even if it's with with some moon glow :)

Noice! Trying conditions. Getting some last minute practice in before A/Fest? :)

Thanks Mate, just getting all the gear ticking along before next week.

Nice going Geoff!

Good bit of processing to get it looking like that with 1.5hrs under moon light conditions.

Cheers,

Justin.
