Prawn Nebula in Scorpius (HA)

Post by **rcj** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 1:45 am

Hey guys,

Tonight's been clear despite the presence of the almost full moon. Took advantage of the clear sky time to capture some photons from Prawn Nebula (IC4628) in Scorpius. This is also the first time I am using the EL Panel to facilitate in flat-fielding in order to make this HA image possible (more discussion of the Panel here).

Image Details:
5" Refractor
4x20min through HA filter
