NGC6188 in Ha

[gregbradley]

How's your astro IQ today?

See if you can spot where this "Running Horse Nebula" is located?

Or is it really 2 horseheads - one facing one way and one larger one facing the other way?

Too easy mate. The center of NGC6188. Do I win a CDK17"?

Ah a winner!

You just did NGC6188 so its fresh in your mind eh?

Yes your CDK17 is in the mail along with a cheque for $100 million!

If he's going to get $100 million, why buy a CDK17 when you can afford a 2 metre class scope....maybe even an uber CDK

That's going to look spectacular when complete.

I reckon, for now, just for display purposes, you can pump a fair amount of contrast in that image.

Yes a CDK700. 700mm aperture.

Thanks Humi. All I need is a clear night. I think I'll do NB on this one seeing Mikes and another one here that looked really good in NB.

Good call on increasing the contrast. I did that and it came up nicely.

Yep....not a bad bit of kit for US$185K.

Excellent pic Greg, but im puzzled why the level is so hi, looks a bit washed out?.

Oh, and I think a lazy 200mill would get you a CDK17000

[renormalised (Carl)]

Yeah Fred, nice scope that....17m mirror!!!!

Wonder what the Dawes Limit on that monster is??

[Hagar (Doug)]

Nice clean image Greg but this target needs the wide field to add the extra oomph of this target. Better make this the start of a big mosaic.
Now that would be an interesting image, all this area done with the 17" WOW.

It is a bit pushed. I might add some more exposure time to it to make it a bit stronger.

I should find out.

Yes I agree. That lovely twisty bit of gas is bit further to the right. I think I will do that if enough clear skies come my way.

A CDK700 has a theoretical Dawes Limit of 0.166".

The 17000 (), has a theoretical limit of 0.00682"

Your scope has a Dawes Limit of 0.269"

No its fine, I ment the level in PS could be lowered a bit, as in the attachment

Oh I see.

I got LRGB data last night when the weather cleared early at 12am.
So I'll be adding that now.

Hi Greg,

Another part of the sky I did not know existed.

Great photo.


Thanks.
