Boogeyman LDN1622

[Carole]

Had a good couple of clear nights here albeit VERY cold - but not to be wasted, so on the 2nd night, I thought I would add to some data i did back in 2019 of this target which I did then in HaRGB.  However I did not do Luminance back then as it's not often we gets skies dark enough to do luminance from home.

Also next door kindly allowed me to reduce the height of their tree (well my son did it) which had grown somehwat and was blocking Orion.

Combined data in 2022 with data captured in 2019 - both taken from home Bortle 8. 

2019:  HaRGB
WOZS71 and Atik460EX
Ha 12 x 600, RGB only 3 x 300 each (Binned)
Total imaging time 2019 2 3/4 hours

2022:  LHaRGB
Skywatcher ED80 and Atik460EX
Ha 3 x 600
Lum 11 x 600
RGB 5,5,6 x 300 binned
Total imaging time 2022 3h 10mins

Grand totals:
Lum 11 x 600 = 1 hour 50mins
Ha 15 x 600 = 30mins
RGB 2hours 5mins

Combined total imaging time = 5hours 55mins (might as well say 6 hours)




For your info, this is the image in HaRGB I did back in 2019 for comparison.

Does anyone think this looks more like an Octopus than a Boogeyman?

Does anyone think this looks more like an Octopus than a Boogeyman?
