I most probably wont add to this image as its just a time line image for me.

Taken while I had one new beginner and another astrophotographer in a learn about AP night.

taken with 3hrs of 10 min Lum, 2 10 min R and B, and 1 10 min G in my house just south of Mandurah with my normal rig

No flats or darks applied, cam at -30 deg

Nice one.

Very smooth image Brendan. I think there is a little more to be had in the nebulosity though.

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

Thanks all.

Paul, there probably is but with a major city centre 2km from my door step and the fact that in total there is only 2 blues 2 reds and 1 green sub stretching the data isn't really a option.

Admittedly if i put another 3 or 4 each in the colour I'de probably start pushing the envelope! That and i have to sort a flats panel out to sort a slight light drop off and dust motes

Trev good quality filters make getting the colour just right... easy!

You just have to love un attended capture. Makes imaging so much easier. Till next time!

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Nothing wrong with that, considering the limited data it's a great cygnet

Tuesday night I discovered that this nebula responds well visually to the DGM NPB filter. But what's that got to do with astrophotography? Err, nothing really, I just thought I'd mention it somewhere

But this image was useful, thanks Brendan, to remind myself of the extent of the nebula. The filter really lifts the contrast.

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

Thanks Eric and Mike. I might treck down the road about 15 20 minutes just to escape some of the lights. Might help me get out to my 15 min range that i so love to go at and then start hunting my fave nebs ;D

Nice going Brendan, for limited data as you say.

[stevous67 (Steve M)]

Nice effort Brendan, a fine Newt capture - I can never see the swan?!!? Looks more like a trout.

Cheers,
