I took this over the latter part of last week.  The skies started off not too bad but ended up about mag 3-3.5; consequently the background ADU level was over 800 with over half the subs being too bright to use.  As you can see it was a tight fit getting the faint outer shell and southern extensions in.



Exposure: 10 x 30min with Baader Ha 7nm filter, Finger Lakes ML 8300, Canon 200L lens@f/3.2
Darks/Bias/Flats calibrated and DDP processed in MaximDL with levels/curves in PS
Date: 8,9,10/07/2010
Guiding: Lodestar +Startravel 80

Very nice Robert, difficult getting the exposure times right with the fine wispy bits & then the more solid very bright parts
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Very nice Robert, just need the O3 and SII now :-)

Fantastic wide field.

Fay

Robert, was not criticising. It was just that I found it hard to process mine because of the contrasting opaqueness of the nebula.

Fantastic image Robert - very nice FOV and good depth in the faint areas.

I hope you're going to turn this into a colour image  -it'll be stunning.

     Another marvellous image from the Robert Imaging Association.  That is worthy of the next OAS calendar and it ought to go into the Sky at Night Magazine as well.

     Brilliant stuff, mate; keep up the good work.  :)

Check your bin. Might still be there,
Or failing that have a look at this software to recover files.

so long at you haven't taken many photos, the data can still be recovered from the memory card.
