3 targets with small data

This was the first time I had imaged these targets &
the seeing was poor so I just had a go at many instead of concentrating on one.
All taken with an 8" f/6 Newt. & QHY9 mono camera.

The Rosette Nebula.

I took 81 minutes of the Rosette Nebula.
4 x 3 minutes each of RGB binned 2x2.
5 x 3 minutes of L binned 1x1
3 x 10 minutes of Ha binned 1x1.

There were so many bright stars that 10 had bleed lines that had to be removed.
Maybe I would need to do hundreds of short 60 seconds frames to re-do this target?

The Running Man.
42 minutes of data.
3 x 3 minutes each of RGB binned 2x2.
5 x 3 minutes of L binned 1x1.

Once again - 14 bleed lines had to be removed with the spot healing brush.


NGC 3132 Planetary Nebula.
1 x 3 minute each of RGB binned 1x1.
For some reason they didn't align properly in Deep Sky Stacker.
It's so small that I'd need a Barlow & top seeing to image this target.


Any advice appreciated.

cheers
Allan
