ASTRO: It's nebula season again
it is nebula season again!
http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/ic1...2hao3_page.htm i also added a marked up map showing some obscure things on the image. there are many other things that are not marked on this map so I caution you... |

NO, I've still got a huge list of galaxies to work on. I'd only need about 500 shots to cover that field! Nothing but clouds here. Raining lightly right now. I had a clear night a couple nights ago. It was a good month since I last imaged. I forgot to turn on temp compensation for the focuser and the dew heater which I didn't need in the super dry air all winter. So wasted that 2 hour window I have between end and start of astro twilight. Still on galaxies. They don't image well at narrowband bandwidths! I suppose I should give a shot at the elephant trunk in IC 1396. There are a few others that will fit in my FOV. I do need to add a wide field system to the mount. Not in the budget at this time unfortunately. Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

I fear it is. You certainly get great pictures in summer, but for me it is drought time, being "into" galaxies. At least I can get a bit more sleep in summer, when nights don't really exist here up north.

ASTRO: It's nebula season again
Actually here at 52 degrees north we don't even reach astronomical twilight.
The time where some imaging is possible is restricted from about midnight to 2 o'clock in the morning (daylight saving time). It looks to be clear this night, but I really wonder if it is worth to set everything up (and get to bed very late in spite of having to work tomorrow) for only two hours of imaging...

ASTRO: It's nebula season again
I do reach astronomical twilight here but only by about 1.5 degrees. I
see the difference when I start or end in nautical twilight but to get any imaging in I have to do that. Gives me about two hours, same as Stefan. Apparently the difference is the light pollution of Berlin overwhelming early and late nautical twilight there. Stefan would likely get three hours imaging here as he's a lot better at dealing with extra light than I am. And to think, 6 months ago I started imaging before supper! I could do several objects a night and still go to bed at a reasonable time! If I had a cloud sensor I'd just set up for one object and go to bed but thunderstorms crop up so fast here this time of the year I can't do that without one. Next in the budget is one but they've been out of stock now for some time. I was told they'd have a new shipment a couple weeks ago but still not there. I started imaging last night but only two frames in a thunder storm blew up. Didn't give us any rain but sure clouded up fast. Lousy seeing with the highly unstable air is another problem. This is when I need low res wide angle where seeing wouldn't be an issue. Stefan Lilge wrote: Actually here at 52 degrees north we don't even reach astronomical twilight.
