Results so far on the Cocoon nebula. Taken over a few nights as an L(HaR)GB image where the Ha has been added to the red channel.


 


Total exposure time so far is about 4.5 hours. Will be adding to this to try and bring more out of the dusty envelope.


 


Scope: Altair RC8, Camera: Atik 383L mono, Filters: Baader &nm Ha and their LRGB filter set. Mount: Avalon Linear Fast Reverse.

Nice, had a go at this myself over 3 nights last week, fairly faint object and tricky to bring out.

Wow thanks for the comments.


I now have a bit more data from last night which has muted the colours (correction-I've muted the colours):
