Description

Used some clear sky between rainy fields to image the Cirrus Nebula in the Swan.

This is not an easy nebula. I see a lot of pictures all with strange colors. Also this one turned out with a flashy blue/magenta color.

Of 1 hour images I used 40 minutes, each 120" on ISO800. No guiding just used polar scope on the HEQ5. At the end the objective was centrally fogged I don't see any effect on the pics though very strange.

Really need image processing to get the nebula stand clear.

It's amazing how much more detail the picture of last Saturday gives by increasing the focal lenght (this one 200mm compared to 600mm last Saturday)
