Why ?!

GUM 15 / CR197

I have spent every spare minute for the past 4 days editing and re-editing this deep sky object. The result always appeared too soft with no sharp details within the nebulosity. I am not sure exactly why. Maybe I’ve stacked a few unfavourable sub frames.. Maybe it was the bad seeing conditions on the nights I imaged or poor collimation or all of the above, lol.. Oh well..

Gum15 is located in the constellation Vela. It is about 3000 light years from our Sun. I imaged mostly with the L-enhance filter but also added data with the CLS-CCD filter to try and capture as much if the reflection nebula as I could.

Cocoon Nebula - IC 5146 Located in Cygnus, the IC 5146 is a reflection and emission nebula. I finally decided to put everything together on the Celestron EdgeHD 8 for deep space and do some testing to make sure my guiding worked and that I could reach focus. Guiding was the easy part, focus was the pain. I finally got it and on the first night I captured m27 amd NGC 869, those I will post soon. On night two, I decided to shoot the Cocoon on both my Edge as well as my Meade 80mm Triplet. This here is from the Edge, and though I had some focus drift in the middle of my imaging (can't seem to get the auto focus to do its thing when using my Canon), I am happy with the result, especially considering I did not use any filters. .

One of my favorites from last night’s images. The wind was bothersome, but it was an otherwise lovely night. . . . . . #observethemoon #celestrontelescope #celestron #backyardastronomy #stem #explorepage https://www.instagram.com/p/CjN_Z9WuBKZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally had a chance to catch the Milky Way, really happy with how it turned out. It was pretty damn humbling being under skies dark enough for this.

Temps dropping into the 70s, clear skies. Time to get your astronomy on! We'll check out some double star systems and maybe a few deep sky objects tonight. #MillayFamily #BackYardAstronomy #NightSky (at Mount Vernon, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NE449B9sD/?igshid=1ffxe1wue0yb5

Usefull Stuff

The Flame nebula I recycled panel one from my mosaic and edited it as it’s own image. Managed to make Alnitak my bitch. That bad boy is a beast that does not wanna be tamed haha. So many cool things in this region.

The Bubble Nebula - NGC 7635 I've been shooting this target for a while now in a widefield format -> 480mm, 380mm, and 275mm. Now I've shot it at around 1400mm. I finally got another filter drawer and I decided to test out how long I could shoot using just a guidescope and the longest comfortable time was around 180s. I plan on returning the Canon to the Raptor but I'm glad I was able to get the EdgeHD 8 figured out for the most part. .
