Hi, wondering if you guys could suggest a few nice DSO targets for this time of year. I’m fairly new to the hobby so there’s a heap of things I haven’t tried.
I really like nebula with a lot of detailed cloud formation in it and especially ones with multiple colours like triffid. I would really love to photograph a spiral galaxy but haven’t had any luck with them so far. I’ve tried the sombreo and I think I got it but it’s a tiny elongated oval in the middle of my shot and I can’t see much of it. It’s position means I don’t have much time before it’s out of sight either.
So far I’ve got some decent images of Eta Carinae, Eagle, Lagoon and Triffid.
I’m using a SW Esprit 100 ED mounted on a Celestron CGX with an ASI017MC Pro cooled camera.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Here’s a picture of the lagoon and triffid nebula I took (just cause I like showing it to people
)
