NGC 6188 and ejection nebula NGC 6164-5

[tornado33]

Howdy
Just processed this 6 inch F3.6 S.N shot taken last weekend.
It covers both the large nebula NGC 6188 in Norma and the ejection nebula NGC 6164-5 upper right side of image.
Its 4 x 5 mins ISO 400, with UHCS filter and MPCC coma corrector.

That is a stunning image Scott. Gee'ss breathless... colours came out really nice. The dark channels are precisely clear.

Thanks :)
And to think that without the 10 inch scope mirror being away getting recoated, I may never have got the 6 inch out and used it photographically.

Great shot Scott,NGC6164-65 is a Wolf-Rayet star, and according to Hartung could be interacting with NGC6188, your image shows that this may be the case.

Nice stuff Scott... Told you that liver biopsy wouldn't keep you down for long!...

Scott, you are the DS man.:thumbsup:

[tornado33]

thanks everyone.
Its cheating, I actually aquired the image before my liver biopsy, but only got a chance to process it when I did, weather has been horrible of late.
Hope to have the 10 inch up and running in a weeks time.

Scott,

Well Done. That is stunning. I wasn't even aware that this nebula existed!. Have you taken this object with an unmodified camera previously? I am just wondering if it is worth the effort with my stock 300D.

Cheers

Thanks Tony
Yep sure have, heres NGC 6164-5 taken with my Unmodded 300D and 10 inch F5.6 scope http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/temp/NGC6164-65small.jpg
3x5 mins ISO 400 no filter

UHCS filtered version http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/baader/6164-5_filteredsmall.jpg 2x10 mins ISO 800

NGC 6188 http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/baader/NGC6188small.jpg
2x10mins ISO 1600 UHCS filter

Your rig will do well with both nebulae (probably wont be able to fit them in one frame though)
