Photography of Nebulas in Dark Sky

Monday, August 11th, 2008


    This photo was a surprise to me. I will show a 3 color version (Ha,Hb,OIII) soon. Wide angle is the key.
    The galaxies need dark skies but I will try to find the practical limit.
    Exposure time: 10 min
    Optics: f/1.8 85 mm Nikkor lens MF
    CCD: DSI3 pro (cooled to 32 F)
    Filter: Ha Baader 7nm
    Platform: LX200GPS (no guiding)
    FOV ~ 7 degrees
