Hi everyone,
I took 26x90sec Ha using the mono camera last night. Conditions were rather stable.
I integrated this into an old capture (1hr) from 2017 that I took with the Canon 60D and at that time it was captured without using a coma corrector.
Therefore the merge of these two rather different images was hard to marry to say the least, in particular the stars with their trademark elongation at the edges.
None the less, it was again a chance to see what the Hyrdogen Alpha image could do and with only 45 minutes it really packed a punch.
This nebula has huge dynamic range and plenty of wispy neb structure and shadows revealed.
Bye to Orion for me once more.
Cheers and HNY for 2025.
Anthony
