A few from last night. 18.10.2018

What a brilliant night I had last night.

The seeing conditions were pretty bad with a lot of mist and plenty of passing clouds but I could not care one bit.

First night of the season when I managed to be imaging all night long.

 

First target is a bit of an odd ball.

 

PK 118.

Millions of stars behind a veil of HA.

21 Subs at 600 seconds.

Captured and stacked in Maxim.

 

 

Next up is.

IC 405.

21 Subs at 600 seconds

Captured and stacked in Maxim.

Polished in PS 6.

Can anyone else see the bottom part of a face running down the left hand side of the neb spooky ? 

 

 

Finally winters greeting card.

 

The first M 42 of the season.

By now it was really misty and starting to get light.

Taken in HA, OIII and SII.

21 subs at 100 seconds in each channel.

Captured and stacked in Maxim.

Assembled in PS 6.

That's a different one Graham, never heard of PK118, well done in grabbing it.

Thanks Mick.

It is new to me as well.

Somewhere in there is the Skull Nebula apparently .
