Popular Post +Graham Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2018 Bit of an odd ball this one. Came across this whilst searching for a target to do at Kelling. I decided to do it due to the interesting star formations around it. GT 81 Atik 414 EX 21 x 600 second subs in HA Captured and stacked in Maxim Slight polish in PS 6.

Tweedledee Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Very nice. Lots to see in that. ? That's a big nebula, with young cluster Berkeley 59 in the upper left quadrant which was born out of the nebula. +Graham and BAZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to get the background information on these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sheila ? I only went to this last night as a last resort. Looked in the sky atlas for a target that was going to be high in the sky and settled on this. Once I saw all the different star patterns around it I figured go for it. Only managed to get data in HA from it though, nothing I could see in either O111 or S11. Are you doing O111 and S11 be interested to see what theAstrodon filters manage to pull out..

What's the best Star Atlas to have do we reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Derbyshire Dave said: What's the best Star Atlas to have do we reckon? Interstellarum - Deep Sky Atlas. This one is not cheap, but I think it is the best. It comes in several bindings, the most expensive has damp proof pages for use outside on humid nights. http://www.deep-sky-atlas.com/ There are many much cheaper ones that are also very good, but Interstellarum is very clear, detailed and goes very deep covering everything most amateurs would need.

+Graham Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I use the sky and telescope pocket atlas. Extremely detailed and invaluable. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Wow, Interstellarum IS expensive isn’t it! thanks both for the tips, I might see if I can have a peek at people’s atlases at Kelling this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 They have a jumbo version out as well, but I don't think it's plasticised like the smaller one, so I wouldn't risk it out on a dewy night. It's exactly the same with all the detail, just a larger format. Much nicer to sit down and plan the night's viewing with. It can be picked up for around twenty quid. https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/the-jumbo-size-pocket-sky-atlas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
