Title: Abel 85, Phantom of the Opera and Little Rosette Nebulae
Post by: Carole on Nov 20, 2024, 15:32:35
I have been wanting to get this target and had forgotten I had attempted it back in 2021 but with so little data I had given up on it and completely forgotten I had captured it.  So will defnitely be trying to get it again with a lot more data. 

However this 2021 rendition was done in Bortle 4 and I shall be trying again in Bortle 8. 

16 x 600 Ha (1 hour 40mins)
3 x 5mins Oiii and 3 x 5mins Sii (But had to process this as HSS as virtually nothing in Oiii).
so grand total is 1 hour 55mins.  :(

Sort of trying to make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear.

Samyang lens 135mm @ f2.8 and Atik 460EX
