An Hour With the Witch

Hi Guys, after seen some great attempts at the witch head nebula I thought I might just have a go as well,

Although it looked pretty clear it was obvious after downloading the files that there was some high haze at times, hence the haloed stars, unusual for the Tak.

I was only able to score 7 images and it is obvious to me now that 8 minutes at 500 ISO is just not enough, will do longer subs next time.

However although fairly light on, I am reasonably pleased for as first go at this faint object.

It went like this, 7 images @ 8 minutes each through the Tak and modded 5D, on the G11 and auto guided, flats and ICNR on, processed in Image Plus and CS2.

Please be critical I could use a hand with this one, I will collect more data next time.

Thanks for looking

Leon

PS forgot to mention ended up with the same Satelite as Doug did the other night, right through the forehead
