NGC 7635 Bubble Nebula

[Fay]

Taken 231107 17.35, with SX thru ED80, guided with PHD via EOZS66. L= 9x300secs Ha = 6x300secs/CLS filter.
This wa going to be RGB but full Moon was about to appear from behind a tree, so I did not have time.

I had to delete 3 of the L due to star trailing.

No tree, and the Moon'd have got you sooner. Guess they're useful for sometimes.

Nice shot.

Pretty good Fay. Not sure about the Christmas Card stars you've 'created' there though

[Fay]

Thanks Rick. I think the Christmas card stars could be a woman thing. I am not sure if it is "pure" to put them on.

I will remove the christmas card stars, to be more correct.

Thanks Mike

Does this mean Santa won't be coming 

[Fay]

Perhaps this is more subtle

Great image Fay, did you have any luck with the FR on the ED80.

I like it - that's a nice image.  It's a fascinating target - it really does look like a bubble. 

[Fay]

Mick, you can still put your stocking up for Santa. I have asked him to make you a special case.

Thanks Mark.

Tony,

I have not found the correct combination. I am more interested in the FR suiting my SX as the Canon has a wide field of view anyway, although I do not have the correct adaptor for the Canon yet. Tony Sizer was going to investigate an adaptor.

I read an old advert that Adirondack was going to do a special FR for SX cameras whereby you had to remove the tube in front of the chip & attach the FR first. I contacted them & they said that they only did a 0.5 FR, of which I have a 1.25 one of those, & they are not sure if it would work with the SX as I would need "inward travel" for it to work.
It seems that a FR is not all things to all equipment. It has to be carefully worked out for the camera & scope used.

My 0.25 FR produces a lot of vignetting, I think because I cannot get it near enough to the chip, so I thought that a 2" would give a result.
I will be interested to see how you get on.

They are artificially added in using Astronomy Tools.

I agree with Rick that the first version shows more detail and is less saturated.

Fay,

Are you taking about a Focal Reducer for the ED80?  If so the Astro Physics one work and is easy to use.  Also I thought you had a ZS66 with a FL of about 350mm I think, I'd use this rather than spending another £100+ on a good FR.

Lastly ou have Ha and CLS Filters, you can do a false Colour image if you use Ha for Red and CLS for Blue and Green, just a thought.

Nice image by the way.

[Fay]

Thanks for all that Chris. I will digest the info

Lie, say you used a newt with thick secondy supports then your image is ok.

I like it, I also remember John and Mike posting images with spikes????


Chris

P.S. John where you been hiding?
