Hi All,

This is a first post for me on the main Deep Sky Section of this forum. I'm going to be heading out to the dark skies again this coming weekend and I'm thinking of imaging NGC6188 emission nebula.

I'm wondering whether I'm going top have any success with the equipment below or whether this needs to be captured using narrowband filters and CCD. The equipment is:

ED120 Black Diamond Refractor
AZEQ6 mount
Orion ST80 Guidescope
Synguider Autoguider
Canon 600D modded camera

My big question mark is whether the DSLR would capture any of this nebula if I shoot with 5-6 minute long subs over 2-3 hours. I may go to 10 mins if required. If this is not going to yield much as the nebula is very faint then I may look at imaging somthing else.

Anyway any tops and advice on the above would be great. I tried looking on the internet about this nebula but most of the images are taken with CCD cameras.

Regards,

Tom
