NGC 1360 & 1398 in Fornax.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Hi,

This is supposed to be a mosaic, but no matter what I tried the two images would not stitch together properly!!

There was plenty of overlap.

So I ended up blending the two images which worked quite well, not an accurate representation though.

Equipment used.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type 3 coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D.

9 x 8 minute subs x 2, ISO 800 & 1600,darks, flats and bias frames applied.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7.

Cheers,

Justin.

Very nice, Justin!

If you didn't say it had an overlap issue I still couldn't tell it did.

Looks great.

Looks superb to me, and like the others - I could never tell that it wasn't just one image. Interesting shot too - I haven't seen these two much before.

Cheers,
Cam

Thanks Cam!

There's quite a few area's of sky that lend themselves to mosaics to put the amazing DSO's into perspective.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice little composition Justin and I think you got the NGC1360 jet this time too.

Nice work Justin how far off is it?

Justin I like your image and your choice of objects.
The PN NGC 1360 is about 1100 light years away.
NGC 1360 was discovered in January 1868 by the German astronomer Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke.
It is surprising that it was not found before that.

NGC 1360 is one degree from 1398.

And thanks for the info on these DSO's!

Cheers,

I'm shooting my first sub of this as I write.
I was thinking I was shooting something new and obscure, then I find your beautiful image here. LOL
I hope my rendition turns out as nice as this one.

Glad your imaging 1360 too, it's a great DSO.

Cheers,

Great colour contrasts between these DSO's and the stars.
