A Christmas Bauble

[Daniel]

Hi All, I managed to get out on christmas day and image the bubble nebula, unfortunately, I got worried it was going to rain and packed up very quickly without taking flats, this made getting rid of gradients in the image very hard.

Anyway, after much tinkering, I have something that looks ok, again, it's not a great target for the focal length of the hyperstar, but it came out ok, and I also managed to squeeze NGC 7538 in there aswell. (with M52 peeking in at the corner)

Anyway, not much to say details wise with this one, since I only used Light frames, but this is 45x180s ISO 160

Wide


(Edit: Tried first image linked rather than included because it took so long to download, but guess it was just Flikr being sluggish, as it isn't any bigger than t'other -- Rick)

I like the widefield better.

Me too, the hyperstar's just not cut out for closeup images!

[Mac]

very nice,
so far in deepest Hampshire, I've had zero clear nights,
mind you, I've not got my scope so im not that worried.;

Daniel, do you used the clip in EOS CLS/IR filter?

[Daniel]

Hi Fay, I do have a clip in CLS filter, but tend to just use that for widefield. This was using a 2" CLS screwed directly into the hyperstar.
