Superb Ollie! These Planetary nebula are awesome target, I recently imaged the ring Nebula (here in Lyra Northern hemispher)! That nebula looks like a stretched Ring Nebulan
Wow! This is so interesting because it just feels like exploring some part of the universe that many people haven’t seen or even heard of. Maybe you even have some moments like Sir William Herschel back in the days like Sophie Paulin who found a new Nebula by accident and it was thus named after her and her friend.
Hey thanks pal for checking out the channel. Indeed some of the Astrophotography channels do still find very obscure objects or supernova happening within them.
Nice challenges Ollie. I've just processed the Bug Nebula taken through my SkyWatcher Esprit 120 (FL 840) and even though it was tiny I was able to get enough detail to make it worthwhile. I'm now processing the Eight Burst nebula and that really is at the limit of my rig's resolution ... but again the challenges in trying to process it makes it a worthwhile exercise.
Both cool looking targets and a damn good result for only one and bit nights imaging. NGC3699 especially looks like it's got some quite interesting detail. I'm imaging NGC5189 which has some really cool intricate detail esp in OIII and I think would be a nice target for your SCT as it's still a descent size and relatively bright.
Hey Logan yep I think 3699 could definitely have some more detail pulled out. That 5189 like you looks like a good candidate too. We're back to so few clear skies here at the moment.
Hey, came across your channel via your video on the Starizona reducer, I am planning to buy one and in the video I saw that your current system introduces a tilt. Were you able to solve that issue ? I am planning to buy the starozona reducer as well and your help will be appreciated. thanks!
