Last night was great. Heavy moon but no wind and
relatively dry so the best time to do a bit of Ha. Here's 2 panels I did around NGC3576. Peter W. posted a beautiful close up of the loops
here which gave me some incentive to try the area in Ha. I did some
RGB previously and put the time on it with an ED80 but it's quite faint and hard to extract from the myriad of background stars.
In comparison it was a breeze to get those photons under a full moon with the hyperstar. So it's 1h in 5min subs on each panels. QHY8 with Baader Ha 7nm on C11/Hyperstar 3 combo, guided with PHD/QHY5 in GSO 8x50mm finder.
There's a larger better quality crop without jpg artifacts
here [700KB] and finally the full field mosaic is available to
view here [2.6MB]
Enjoy the shots and thanks for looking
