Trying to capture Ek5 from London....and emulate Peter Goodhew's and Sven Eklund's image https://app.astrobin.com/i/fdv55d.   Acquired towards the end of astronomical night and pointing above London's LP dome; not the best conditions for a - very - faint, extended planetary.  Most of the narrowband data comes from a dualband filter.

As usual a fine set of images Roberto, I might have to miss out the graphical images but will point members towards the Forum. 

As for Ek5 - HaOORGB from London, Total integration: 98h 5m

That's an incredible exposure time for a single person to collect.  I was not familiar with it, but looked at the link you attached.  As you say a real challenge from South of London.

Brilliant images Roberto

Especially the Sun with large prominence

[garrick]

Brillian set of images. As Carole mentioned, 98 hours integration time, thats impressive.
