Thought I would post another Ha shot done with the 180ED F2.8 with the 6nm , be good to reshoot with the 13nm filter and go a bit longer ( this one is 50min of 5min exp' )
that would probably fix the noise.
The object is AKA Gum #1

that is very delicate, well done!

[astroboy]

Thanks David

Anyone know if this is a visual object .

[ving (David)]

i have to admit, i have never heard of it.... nice shot

[davidpretorius]

i am sure it was a november challenge. i am sure i view a faintish object a few months ago near tarantula though my 10" newt!

[h0ughy (David)]

Stunning, beautiful, I am in awe!! What was your camera Zane?

[RB (Andrew)]

Stunning image Zane......!!!!!

Is that the TAK 180ED, f2.8 astrograph?
If so what mount did you use?

I assume you used the Sbig ST2000XM ?

Well done mate.

[atalas]

Good shot Zane !

[astroboy]

Thanks everyone.
Sorry its not the Tak 180 its a 180mm F2.8 ED Nikon lens with a Sbig ST8i that I use for widefield on the LXD55 mount unguided and the object is on the boarder of Canis Major and Monoceros not in the LMC , there seem to be a few objects with the same nick names and this is one of them.
Very large object and could be hard to see but should be easier than Barnards Loop and some have seen that .
