Title: NGC7635 Bubble Nebula & M52
Post by: Fay on Sep 21, 2008, 10:08:20

This was 11x600secs Ha, WO ZS66.

I put it on & took it off as I realised it was not grayscale.

That looks good Fay - if it was last night I'm surprised you got anything.  I had a go at the Tulip last night but the transparency was really terrible - it was a complete waste of time - part of the reason may be that my focal reducer misted up - I guess I must have damp inside my OTA - not a good thing!

Thanks Mark. I would have liked it to be sharper, but as you say sky was not that good.

That's very good for last night Fay.

I was catching up on some 'shut eye' last night.... That looks quite nice though Fay & by all accounts considering the conditions it is excellent. Lovely FOV especially with the cluster in as well... You really do get a big FOV with that 314...

Thanks John & Robert. John. I took it with the WO but no focal reducer, so will be a very large fov with one of those.
