Description

So this is my attempt at the Dark Shark Nebula LDN1235.
I used a 0.65 Starizona reducer on an ESPRIT 100 ED refractor, so shooting at f/3.6.
Luminance: 40 x 300s L
Colour: 20 x 300s R, G, G
Stars: 10 x 30s R, G, B
So in total about 8.5 hours integration
 I think I should have shot shorter sub frames as I could make out the Dark Shark easily even on my 30 sec subs.
I had some difficult gradients (central darker area) which were not eliminated using flats.
