Title: Sh2-88
Post by: Carole on Jun 17, 2023, 13:15:59
In Vulpelcula, nearish the Dumbbell Nebula

Taken over 3 nights in June once the target had cleared the rooftops.
Most data I have ever taken on one image thanks to the dual rig.
Quite a dim target so a bit of a challenge from Bortle 8.

Dual Rig ED80 and ED72 both with an Atik460EX and 0.8 FR
HEQ5

Ha 84 x 600 secs (14 hours)
Oiii 36 X 300 secs binned x 2
Sii 35 x 300 secs binned x 2
I took RGB as well for the stars but haven't added them as yet.

Revised
