+Graham Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) SH2 240 -- The Spaghetti Nebular This is a definitely a work in progress. I originally thought this was going to be a 9 panel mosaic but have revised that to possibly a 25 panel mosaic to fit it all in. I am working on one night or a minimum of 7 hours per panel so the total will be around the 175 hours plus of data. This is a really faint nebula so I am running at 30 minuet subs to get as much of it as I can grab. This is the first four panels at 30 hours worth of data stitched together in Pixinsight. I have another couple of panels but as they do not form a regular image I have left them out for now. This entire Nebula covers an area of around 2 degrees in both directions making it the largest mosaic I have ever undertaken. All I need now is another couple of weeks of clear skies and I can get the HA finished. That will just leave the OIII and the SII Click on the image a couple of times to get to full resolution.

Tweedledee Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 That is a massive one. I think it was originally called Simeis 147. Looks to be coming along nicely and should be spectacular when you get the full plate of spaghetti. +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
