This is a full resoloution crop from center of original image.
1750 and 1800 sec ISO 400 shots (1 hour total) with the UHCS filter and 10 inch F5.6 scope, EOS 300D
Star Atlas pro gives its mag. (in H Beta) as 15.75.
Weather fair, but very moist.
I just like to see what these faint obscure objects look like in colour

Another faint, seldom seen and never heard of object! you are the guru of the obscure and lost!! 20Da here you come!

[tornado33]

Thanks.
I would love a 20 Da however I hear that modified cameras deliver even better H alpha results. Id never want to do it myself but these might be the go if I ever come into some money

yes there's been quite a bit of debate over on CN, and the Hutech seems to win by a short head

the way I see it, by the time I have enough money -and am allowed-to buy another camera for astrophotography, the Canon 90000 D would probably be out in the market
