I enjoyed seeing the bright knots of hydrogen. On the outskirts of the coal sack is actually a very large, yet faint band of hydrogen which few images pick up. It really makes me wonder what could be behind all that dust and gas. You can clearly see it in Galaxy-map's Milky Way explorer [MWE] ( http://galaxymap.org/mwe/mwe.php). You really are pushing out many images of late. Productive imaging. Well done! |
Do you mean this bit Jase?

I am imaging whenever lack of cloud permits. Even with a full Moon I can at least get reasonable 'survey' images with 3nm narrow band. The OIII filter is the only one that the Moon can introduce obvious gradients in the images even far from the Moon's position.
Jase that Galaxy map looks very useful for finding interesting areas not normally imaged by us amateurs. Thanks for the link.
My main objective with this new system is (after mastering it) to get very deep images of dim and rarely imaged/ifever objects. This of course means mosaics for the more extensive ones. All the imaging so far is just practice.
I have finally pinned down my last bit of intermittent flexure and this will soon be fixed. It was only about 0.05 degrees per hour but it makes the stars slightly elliptical. You can see the effect in the LagTrif mosaic.
