Northern Trifid NGC1579

#1

Post by carastro »


I went to Kelling Heath in Norfolk UK last weekend, the annual Equinox Star Party.
It was a low key affair this year due to Coronavirus with social distancing and the weather forecast was not good so many didn't even bother to go. We are in the 2nd Wave of CV here in the UK, some areas are in lockdown again, and some restricted. They moved my home area into the 2nd highest risk zone while I was away.

Since I had booked and paid for a caravan hire I went and kept my fingers crossed, but unfortunately no clear skies - well about 10 minutes worth, just enough to polar align.

So decided to have another try at processing an image I did at Kelling a year ago and had never been happy with the result.

Better processing skills a year later and I am much happier with it. This is the info from last year:
Did not manage to get much data before it clouded over, so this is only 2 hours.

9 x 600 Lum
30m RGB 2 subs of each @ 300secs
WOZS71/Atik428EX
ED80/Atik460EX
Total 2 hours

Mount: HEQ5 + Polemaster
Guiding: SW Finderguider and QHY5
Scopes: Skywatcher ED80, Skywatcher ED120, William Optics ZS71, Samyang 135MM F2 lens,
Cameras: Atik460EX, Atik428EX, Canon 1100D
Filters: Baader

Sorry to hear your Kelling Heath trip was clouded out. They have some quite dark skies in Norfolk. We did a week on the Norfolk Broads a couple of years ago.

Your Triffid shows the darker nebulosity well.

Regards

Graeme

Wow, sorry about the Corona stuff.

That's a beautiful capture of the nebula.

Too bad about the Equinox Star Party. You show the "mist" really well, great work.

Hi Carole - I missed this one somehow. That looks like a tough target with all the dust. You brought out some nice colors even with all the problems.

Stay safe. Here in the US the daily cases of CV are higher than they have ever been. Hopefully things will get better on both sides of the Atlantic!

Cheers - Steve
