Title: Wizard Nebula - Kelling Heath
Post by: Carole on Sep 15, 2015, 12:26:49
This is the first of 4 images taken at Kelling.

I took my dual rig with me but had not used it on the HEQ5 before and was not sure if it was over laden, but the guiding seemed OK so I stuck with it for the entire stay.

Ha 22 x 600secs
Oiii 4 x 600 secs
Sii 7 x 600secs

Taken over 3 nights as the object was high and scope & camera nearly touching the tripod so could only get a bit each night.  Was determined to try to get this target which has been on my wish list for a couple of years, and it's absolute rubbish from Bromley.

ED80 & Atik314L
ED120 & Atik460

That looks really good - I love the colours.  Dual rig has worked out well.

A truly beautiful image Carole. It almost looks 3D. I have enjoyed looking at all your lovely images from Kelling. I know practically nothing of the technicalities but liked this one the best. Well done.

Nice detail coming out but I'm not sure about the colours (personal preference).

That dual rig has certainly worked out very well and seems to have kept stable enough.
