Title: Some tadpoles and friends..
Post by: RobertM on Jan 21, 2010, 22:09:36
Nice wide field but not the result I wanted.  It was one of those nights when everything that could have gone wrong did.  Jumbo jets, power, dew, cables and a network connectivity problem so I gave up after 2 dodgy subs.  I added those two subs to another two from a previous session so this is very much unfinished business...

Capture details:
Exposure: 4 x 30min
Filter: Baader Ha 6nm passband
Camera: Finger Lakes ML 8300
Optics: Canon 200L lens@f/3.2
Conditions: Clearish.
Date: 4/1/2010 and 17/1/2010
Guiding: 50mm finder
Orientation: North is up and East is left

Objects in the frame:
 IC405 - Flaming star nebula
 IC410 - With the tadpoles
 IC417 - Nebulosity
 NGC1931 - Open cluster and nebulosity
 NGC1893 - Open cluster
 NGC1907 - Cluster

Robert, that is just stunning, the images your taking with this lens/camera combo are incredible, once again, love the field of view, can't wait to see with more subs added!

Excellent image Robert.  
The fast optics have really helped there!
