ASTRO: Cone Nebula in Halpha
I shot this image of the Cone Nebula last night using my C14 and a Custom
Scientific Ha filter. I used my FLI Dream Machine camera. The shot was a median combine of three exposures of 20 minutes. Unfortunately I had a bit of an alignment error so I have a bit of elongation in the Decl axis. Hopefully tonight I can take a better shot of it. This target has been very elusive for me for some time. Getting closer though.... I also included my old widefield shot of the region showing the Cone, Foxfur, Hubble's Variable Nebula and the Christmas Tree Old Widefield shot: http://www.rdcrisp.darkhorizons.org/...ssion_page.htm New Ha shot of the Cone: http://www.rdcrisp.darkhorizons.org/...la_ha_page.htm When I re-shoot I will plan to take more data so I can have a better S/N. That should keep me from having to use so much smoothing to get rid of the "cottage cheese" background that results from the deconv and unsharp masking. Best wishes Richard |
