PN's NGC 2438 and M1-18 in one go

[tornado33]

Star Atlas pro showed that I would be able to fit both these objects in by aligning my camera so the long axis went north-south. Here is the images.
One is processed normally the other is more stretched to show the much fainter M1-18.

Its 3 x 10 mins ISO 1600, 10 inch F5.6 Newtonian, EOS 300D MPCC and UHCS filter. I did dark, flat and bias(offset) processing in IRIS as per the instructions here

Stacking and final processing was done in Photoshop CS.
I had to get up at 2:30 am to get this shot too

you are the master Scott!!!

Mr faint and obscure does it again, well done and congratulations

[tornado33]

Thankee
3rd try at it too, first one a few days ago I had the camera orientated wrong and missed getting both, yesterday morning this dirty big coutherly was blowing, with low cloud also, so Im glad I was finally able to get it now.

Mr "Faint and Obscure" he is too h0ughy And not only does he bag a double planetary but completes one of the Monthly Imaging challenges as well.

Nice catch Scott

[astro_south (Andrew)]

Nice work Scott. I love planetaries and I love your hunt for the obscure!

The shot also shows M46 nicely, therefore his MOC count is 2 for this photo

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

You're right Andrew. I was thinking of M46 only, I wasn't even considering the planetary challenge. Is that cheating? Getting two MIC in the one shot????

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Great shot, Scott ...I will certainly be looking for that one!
All these MIC's,MOC's & others, its hard to keep up with all the TLA's IMO
