HOO image

I captured a few Ha and O3 1200 s subs with the RC and QSI over 2 nights this year and then combined that with some longer subs in Ha I took with the WO132 and Sx 694 back in 2016 in APP,a bit in PI and finished off in PS

 

Do the clicky dance for full res.

Nice target I was  looking to do this the other week after spotting it last year  but for the life of me I couldn’t remember what it was called 👍 now I know

Blimey, 17 magnitude. That's some faint photons! Nice job.

That's impressive Steve, well done.

That's a new one for me, I had to look it up. Great image Steve 👍

[+Graham]

Tremendous Steve. That's one I'd not heard of before.

I had to look it up as well. Some conflicting data on the web about it. Most say it's 360" in diameter but one states 1° (I suppose they thought 360"=1°) and whilst most say its mag V14 another gives it as mag V17. The concensus appears to be that that the central star is about mag V17 - which can just be seen in your image, but I guess being a blue dwarf it won't show up very well in Ha or O3.

Anyway, an unusual capture, well done.

That's so impressive....faint photons indeed! Particularly considering the awful weather we have been having... A real result!
