This is an interesting looking Neb. I grabbed this Friday night - it's my first in about 4months & it actually took me longer setting all my equip up & getting it working than it did to get the subs... :-(

Mark - My stuff was all still packed away from when we went to Riberac...

Anyway - Atik 16ic + ZS66 & 0.8X flattener. Ha - 24X300secs

Needs longer & more subs to reduce noise (or a Hyperstar... :-) ) but it's a start..

Cheers,  John

Fantastic image John, I had a go at this last week but wasn't able to resolve much apart from the "bell" of the jellyfish, great job!

Daniel
:O)

Cheers Chris, Paul, Daniel...

Chris not sure if Olly has ever done this but I would say it would be superb from Les Granges - something along the lines of the Pacman...

Daniel - Hopefully I can add more - I really need to try & get to 10min subs...

Cheers,  John

That's really good John and it's great to see you out imaging again!  I also did the Jellyfish but on 30th - it ended up looking really noisy due to the conditions.

Thks Robert - Mine needs more subs as well but it's a start after such a long break... Thks again for your comments,  John

Must try harder Robert!

That's a very nice image John.  It's a difficult target.

Good to see you out again!

Quick update - I added another 45mins (9X300secs) of Ha data before the clouds came last Saturday. So image now comprises 33X5mins & it still needs a lot more:-(

The 45mins hasn't really made any difference (at least in my eyes). I plan on giving this one more session the next clear, moonless night..

Cheers,  John

I think it is a good image, John. I have always fancied this one.
