Hi,
Hot, noisy and not enough data but I'm still happy with this image. Herschel's ray or the pencil nebula is part of the vela supernova remenant. I remember seeing this through my 8" scope with an O3 filter, faint bugger.
I was happy to get as much as I did, and the colour turned out well.
I have another cooler that arrived today for my DSLR, the first one packed up, so I will be able to get some cleaner images from now on.
8" f/4 astrograph,
orion mini guider, HEQ Pro 5 mount.
Unmodded canon 1100D baader coma corrector.
8 minute subs at iso 800, total 48 minutes, darks flats and bias frames applied.
Median stack in
DSS, processed in
PS 7.
Cheers,
Justin.
