VEIL NEBULA PROJECT SESSION ONE.


Graham

Recommended Posts

I was blessed with clear skies tonight so I made a start on my Veil Nebula project.


My aim is to gather around 20 hours of data on this over several nights.


 


This is the result of tonight's run.


I have had to reduce the exposure time down to 90 seconds to stop blowing out the main star completely.


I will post up the results of successive runs as I add more and more data to it.


 


Helios 127mm Frac.


Modded Canon 350 D


102 x 90 second subs at ISO 800


11 x Dark Frames


21 x Flat Frames


 


Stacked in DSS


Processed in PS 6

Thanks Tobias hopefully it will get a lot better over the coming days.


 


Sheila DSLR I know, but as I am shooting this over several days it means leaving the camera attached to the scope.


There is absolutely no way in the world I would leave your 314 outside in the obs.


If someone breaks into the obs and nicks the canon fair enough but they will never get the chance with the Atik.

Looking good Graham.

Cheers for putting your settings down, gives me an idea of where to start!

If I ever get any clear sky :-(

PS: like your Ethos. being a fellow DIY / self modder :-)

Paul - Thanks, apart from the set up shots I took before this is a first for me.


 


Paul (2) - No probs, I always put the settings down so folks can tell me if and where I am going wrong. I know what you mean about the clear sky, its getting beyond a joke with all this cloud, I mean its going to be June next week. :(
