D800 has a christmas cone with the unicorn.
Hi,
While doing a comparison of 5 vs 10 minute subs last night I ended up with 80 minutes of data in Monocerous. Here's a quick processing job of these data. 4 x 10min is noticeably better than 8 x 5min, but here I've integrated the lot.
Definitely noise limited, and another couple of hours on this might bring out the fox-fur better, but I think I'll try it again at a longer focal length next time.
Equipment was an unmodified Nikon D800, CLS-CCD filter, Tak FSQ106ED on a G11 with 80mm guidescope. Looks like some H-alpha sneaked through the IR filter.
From left to right, Hubble's variable nebula, a cone, the Christmas tree cluster featuring S Mon, the fox-fur and the tiny cluster ngc 2259. The cone was a tricky thing to spot in the 25" last night, despite relatively good skies.
Constructive criticism welcomed.
regards,
Andrew.
