M1 - Crab Nebula in Ha

Paramount · October 13th, 2009, 02:48 PM

Hi
This is another beginning of a project to complete some of my earlier attempts at imaging, using narrow band and in particular the HST palette which I favour, partly because of its scientific value (highlights the gases in strict order of wavelength) but also from an aesthetic point of view. This was done the other morning at about 3am after doing some work on the Bubble nebula. It is made up of 17x10 minutes with a Ha filter on a Starlight Xpress H9 camera, Takahashi BRC-250, Paramount ME, autoguiding was by a lodestar camera on a TMB 115 with dithering invoked. The earlier image can be seen on my site Imaging The Heavens - Home Page on the Nebulae page in the image gallery
Thanks for looking
Best wishes and clear skies
Gordon
