ASTRO: Region around NGC6914 Skywatcher ED80
Hi folks,
I had another gap in the clouds last night so I had a go at imaging the region around NGC6914 in Cygnus. The whole of Cygnus is full of potential targets and its difficult to choose and settle on a specific area. Again I used my Skywatcher ED80 refractor, Starlight Xpress SXV-H9 with Astronomik HAlpha and RGB filters. The H-alpha frame was a stack of 21x5min exposures at 1x1 binning, and the RGB frames were stacks of 4x5min exposures at 2x2 bin. All the images were autoguided using a Celestron Ultima 9.25 and PHD Guiding. Processing was done in AstroArt 4. I think the final image could do with more HAlpha signal and the blue frames could do with some more exposure as well. Light clouds kept rolling through so it was a bit difficut acquiring all the necessary frames. In the end the clouds won! Regards and clear skies. David Cash |

Great shot David. This area looks a bit like the flame nebula.
