Dumbbell Nebula - close up

Dear All,

This one was a marathon attempt; 9 nights of capture. Had to discard more than half of the subs thanks to the weather. And took my time for processing. But I guess there's still a lot to be done. Comments and suggestions welcome please.


Dates taken: 9 nights throughout July and August 2010
Location: Beckenham, Kent, UK.

Scope: Celestron 9.25 SCT
Camera: Starlight Xpress SXV-H16
Filters: 2” Astronomik Ha, OIII, SII
Guiding: Skywatcher ST80 with DFK
Mount: Skywatcher EQ6

Exposure: 7.5 hours Ha, 10.5 hours OIII, 5 hours SII all in 10 minute subs
Calibrated and Stacked in Maxim DL
Stretched and Noise Reduction in Photoshop CS3

Thanks,
Vincent.
