Description

Sharpless region 171 as seen at Calstar 2014.

This is from two nights of imaging, on Tuesday and Thursday. 7 and 13 subs on these nights, respectively, for a total of 200 minutes. Subs were 10 minutes at 200 ISO.

Same method as before, modified and cooled Pentax K10D camera with the Stellarvue SV4 scope. UV/IR filter was through the IDAS HEUIB-II.

Calibrated in Maxim, Stacked in DSS, Processed in PI.

I'm happy enough with the results on this object. There's a lot of nearby nebulosity that would show well with a widefield exercise. Specifically, with deeper exposure, there would be a larger loop of color to the left of the current edge of the frame.
