OK I got one too
Had a crack at going deep on it. I had to knock back the red as is - theres a lot of stuff in the area.
Scope: Televue np 101is
Imaging Gear: SBIG ST8300, Astrodon LRGB filters
Mount: NEQ6
Guiding:Orion shorttube 80 + QHY5 + PHD
Exposures:L - 20 x 5min, RGB 6 x 5 min each channel
Stacked : Maxim DL - Median, normalization 80% - darks were done with CCDOPs in series as imaged - no flats
Summary of post processing: Initially done in Pixinsight, DBE, HDR wavelet, Colour calibrtion, etc as per Harry Page's tutorials (thank god for Harry), wasnt happy with the colour (too pink - my limitations - not PI's) so finished in PS - still not red enough but this is enough.
Darkness of site - Dark (Leyburn) only weather made the sky not as dark/tranparent as usual (slightly greyish to the naked eye)
Date imaged : 13 June 2010
