Got this with the 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert and Houghys cooled DSLR, 300mm at f4, uv/ir filter
2x10 mins ISO200, sensor temp 1degree, through some high cloud and moonlight hence noisy image, though Im surprised so much came out considering the horrible conditions. I thought the only objects here were the reflection nebulae I didnt realise there was a big dark nebula here so far south.
There are quite a lot of Dark Nebulas around the SCP area. They are all marked as a DSS-Number. I've tried to image some, but the Toucam can't get them
Expecting a lot from the Toucam aren't I
But, ya don't know if ya don't try
Nice image Scott.
Just a thought why dont you give MYCN18 a go, I would love to see a good amateur image taken.
Most of the images I have seen are all HST Ron
That's a nice image and when I saw your image it immediately rang bells with me. I actually have a picture of that nebula hanging on my office wall - well to be more precise I have a Akira Fujii poster of the southern cross region hanging on the wall and it shows the nebula (complex?) you have imaged.
Just guessing tIt's most likely a Cederblad object ?
Thanks
I will see about re-imaging this towards next new moon, by then it will be past meridan eliminating the need for a meridian flip for a long imaging run.
