IC63 & IC59

[Rocket Pooch]

Hi,

This is a quick process of IC63 and 59, 12 Ha x 20 minute, and 6 G&B x 5 minute, ED80 and ED80 .85FF with the QSI 583.  Allways interesting imaging with a mag 2.74 star in the field of view!  Will process this a little better later.

BSC 27 Gam Cas, Visual Magnitude: 2.47

I like that - lots of interesting colours there.  Is that a dark nebula over on the left?

As you say, such a bright star is going to cause processing problems.

That's nice Chris. I remember you doing it before, was that in France?

[RobertM]

Very nice Chris, it looks like there is more nebula close up to Gamma Cas which would make an interesting capture.

This is really nice. Very colourful. Would be great if it could be imaged with that star occulted somehow.

Mike,

The star itself has a nebula around it, so its kinda all or nothing here, although I think in narrow band the star could be made a lot smaller, or if I subjected it to a layer mask and toned it down a lot.

I'd like Mark S to try this with his banana scope, I think it would be good to see how well it comes out, I think it would look similar.....

Get voting!

I think that was quite impressive getting the earth and prominance in the same image - gets my vote ..not;  and I see someone's cut and pasted your Jupiter and Ganymede Mark ...

Oh I'm in there, how funny....

[Fay]

Robert, you are so alert, I did not notice any scullduggery!!!!

[RobertM]

Oh I'm in there, how funny....

Yep, it'll serve you right if you win too...

I just thought, if it wasn't for my 240v extension lead, you may never have got that image.
The oppotunities that by-pass me due to me helping other.

PS.................I voted for that nice lighthouse.

I see the image 3 below Chris's on the UKAI 'Image of the Month' is in fact todays APOD.
