Was surprised to find out that i geta glimpse of the North America nebula from my house, so gave it an hour the other night to see how it might turn out.
This is 14 x 240s in Ha. I'm not sure about trying for any other bands, its a fairly low target on a bright horizon for me.
I guess this is something like EAA? I think of them as kind of postcards or visitor stamps... I still like taking quick pics to take a better look at things in the sky, even if there is really not much chance of producing a "good" image out of it. I reckon I'll hit California nebula, Andromeda, etc now that I know I have a clear view for an hour or two each night.
That's really good. I attempted imaging in Ha around cygnus years ago and it's already very low from Sydney. Astrofest in QLD at -26deg lat is good for northern targets like these.
Nice work JP . I captured some data on my 80mm scope with the.294 OSC on this target and it came up really good . I.wish I could see a bit further over the horizon just to capture tar gets like the tadpole and other cool nebula in that region.
