Cocoon Ha

This is something from a few weeks ago, usual culprits:

10 x 20m + 2 x 30m Astronomik 13nm Ha filter over 2 nights.  Visibility was about Mag 2.5-3 so fairly rubbish.

Was waiting to do the other two channels but life has conspired against that so this is a quick process of that data.

That's looking very good to me Robert.  It's one of my favourite objects.

I love those corner to corner pin-sharp stars!!

Looks really nice using that field of view, ethereal object in a swarm of stars.

Thanks guys.  I found this a really difficult object from around here the background sky noise is too high and really should have left it for a dark site.  Would like to do the RGB from Woodlands but I'm not sure I'll be able to get down there this w/e after all   I feel the 13nm filters are too wide and letting too much LP in so I've ordered the narrower Baaders.

PS. Mark, didn't you mean Tak sharp

looks nice Robert - You have clipped the blacks - If you make background a bit brighter there is lots more neb showing through etc. But I'm sure you know that anyway... oh for 30mn subs....

Nice one & love the FOV - John

Very nice Robert, you always deliver a nice image....30 mins subs....SIGH...........

30 min subs???!!! that's crazy, but well worth it, never managed to get a pleasing image of this one myself, always came out as a faint blob!

I agree with John though the blacks are a little clipped
