The Cocoon Nebula, IC5146, seen with the RH-305 setup at the Deep Sky West Observatory. I was hoping to get a more prominent appearance of the dark lane extending from the Nebula itself… will have to reprocess this image to get out more. Still, the colors are beautiful. Exposure: LRGB, (63,22,13,18) x 600sec Date: 2017-05-05…2017-09-16 […]
Two different perspectives on the head of the Pelican Nebula: false-color narrow band (above) and real color RGB (below). Both taken with the same setup, the new Astro-Physics 175 mm f/8 Starfire EDF at the Deep Sky West Observatory. Processing was very straight forward, no tricks necessary. Exposure: HOS (13,5,10) x 1800sec LRGB (14,15,14,9) […]
This is the Trifid Nebula, M20, with the open cluster M21, my first test target from the new Astro-Physics 175 mm f/8 Starfire EDF at the Deep Sky West Observatory. Processing was very straight forward, no tricks necessary. Exposure: LRGB, (22,8,9,10) x 600sec Date: 2017-06-14…2017-06-30 Setup: Astro-Physics 175 Starfire with FLI PL16070 Site: Deep Sky […]
