Pelican Nebula in Ha

[multiweb]

We had a good run of clear nights in Sydney lately and the moon is rising later and later so last night as I finished my now usual 20x10min run I though I'd have a crack at the Ha regions around Deneb as it was between my clothes line, the neighbourg's house and a couple of hedges. It's about 10(ish) degrees up for me. I had 6x10min until I lost my guide stars in the trees but got some signal alright. Few artefact as I copes a satellite trail and you can see the tree line rejection that was in two of the subs. I reckon I could give it a shot from a clearer northern horizon in the bush.

There's a big one here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pi8bYVBHH1L5K16zi0rjv8MoEQa7_KFCd _BlTW3kXx_L7BlZxOBq5KMJXa4c7vQeH-TsuhCIHb8iXEF3bddjrnQ/deneb_ha_150mm_ff.jpg?psid=1)and a plate solve here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pPCJsU5F0_EpRSegn6dagC9k6bSYA1nED gMOc_y0Sgymoq7Nji-TXjULTsccKSiBjbW22QlFQkb3-uAxLUdSjxQ/deneb_ha_150mm_ff_T.jpg?psid=1). I remember back home Deneb being right up at the zenith. Oh well... maybe one day. :)

That's pretty good Marc considering the altitude. Nice job!

Thanks mate. It is a real shame it's so low. So much stuff in there.

It was certainly worth having a go, Marc! A surprisingly good result.

Well that's cutting edge imaging Marc...I agree with Steve not bad at all from Sydney :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I reckon I could get a good result out of the burbs . I tried again last night and managed 5x10min. The seeing was worse than yesterday but I reckon I could get a decent result if I shot 5-7 subs per night. I could also frame the whole thing this time.

That's very cool Marc, that's about as low as they would see something like the Cats Paw Neb from Europe, yes?

Yeah that'd be about right. You'll be able to get these northern DSOs from your new site. You have a good dark North horizon. Maybe not in RGB but certainly in NB.
