The Sea Gull Neb First Attempt 95 Minutes

Hi Guys.

Lately I have been imaging the easy stuff, and with reasonable results, so it was suggested by Mr Easystyles, Eric, and Mike, the boss that I try for something a bit deeper.

After a few excuses about to much light pollution, and that I couldn't go that deep because of it, I gave it a go anyway.

This is the first time I have gone this long on any object, a total of 19 exposures at 5 minutes each, that's 95 minutes total add the ICNR, and it was a run of 3 hours and 10 minutes.

So here we have the Sea Gull Neb, 19 exp @ 5 mins each, at 400 ISO, with Tak 106 and Canon 5D, on the G11 and guided with WO 80mm, and Toucam.

Processed in Image Plus, with Flats/Darks etc and finished off in PS2.

It is not that flash, so please be kind. but feel free to comment either way.

Leon
