Faint IC 2118 but I'm happy
Hi All,
Thanks to all on IIS that replied to my call for help with imaging IC 2118.
Last night I had my third attempt at this object, minus my polarizing filter.
The Hag is faint and obviously I need more data to capture this with the only lens available to me a 17-85mm EFS.
This image was taken with an unmodified Canon 450D with the previously mentioned lens at 85mm F5.6 and ISO 800. Used IP 3.60 Camera control, focused with the focus metric in IP, tracked by hand with my DMK and IC Capture using Als Reticle.
Took 11 x 7 minute subs, 6 x 7 minute darks, 16 x 1/30th sec ISO 100 flats and 16 x 1/4000th sec bias frames. Processed in IP 3.50a.
Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
