Guest Phillyo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 So after my last image I posted, NGC7000, I think I said I'd be trying a mosaic of that area. Well I did. And it turned out alright!! I learned a few things about making a mosaic and then tried again, this time on the Veil Nebula. That was captured last night and when it had gone below the horizon I decided not to waste the clear skies so I had a go at NGC7380 - The Wizard Nebula. The Wizard is a bit small for my set up but it's nice to see a wider angle I think Anyway, images are all below. Capture details are essentially the same as usual. Mount: Avalon Linear Fast Reverse Scope: WO Star 71 Astrograph Cameras: QSI583wsg, Lodestar X2 guiding. Ha Filter: Astrodon 3nm Software: SGPro, PHD2 and Pixinsight. Exposures are: North American Neb 12 x 600s per pane. Total time 8 hours Veil 10 x 900s per pane. Total time 5 hours Wizard 12 x 1200s. Total time 4 hours. Thanks for looking.

Daz Type-R Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Now they are very nice...... Cough, POTM, cough cough......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillyo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Haha Daz, POTM indeed but which one!? to be honest, I'd really like to add some OIII and possibly SII to the Veil Neb. I think once I've done that, and added a bit more time to it I could put that forward for POTM. Then again I have a lovely Rosette begging for OIII and SII data...so many choices, so little clear skies Thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Phil, POTM, you need to take some more for a calendar, one per month they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillyo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Absterreo, Thank you for the kind words! I don't think they're of that quality just yet, but we're getting there. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
