Imaged with an ED 80 on a CG5 autoguided mount with a modified Canon 300D and an Astronomik H alpha (13 nm) filter, here is IC 2944/2948
I imaged this object last Saturday( ie 5 May) from my backyard in light polluted Winston Hills-when there was plenty of moon around, but as Scott (tornado33) has shown H alpha filters can overcome bright moonlight and light pollution.
Only just processed...
I didn't get nearly as much exposure as I'd have hoped for-thanks to a lap top that crashed three or four times with resultant data loss so this is only 30 minutes worth at ISO 1600
comments and suggestions welcome.
I will try and combine with some colour data I combined last month by and by.
