Title: THe Wizard Nebula in Cepheus
Post by: Fay on Oct 26, 2010, 10:41:55
This was taken at full moon, so not a good image. Was outside practicing EQMOD, so was not expecting anything .

19x300 modified Canon 350 D, 0.8 flattener, Skywatcher 120 Equinox.

Very nice Fay. 
I can never fathom out why this is called the Wizard nebula.

That's not bad for a 'practice' session is it!

I guess you must be all modded up now :)

Oooh, nearly missed this one, another difficult target, might have to try this myself some time, not sure i'd dare on a moon lit night in colour though!
