Description

NGC 6960 - The Petrel

This is a 2er mosaic with the following data:

- 10 "F4 Carbon Newton

- ASI 294MMC

- IDAS V4 filter

- Lodestar OAG Guiding

- AZ EQ6 PRO

Total exposure 50 x 900s (each 25 x 900s per image)

Color calibration was done with REGIM, editing with Fitswork (make mosaic), Startools and PS3.

First my own criticism.

The GPU does not create a distortion-free image, so the barbed stars on the edge.

The picture is a bit tormented, only so I could make the details clearly visible.

The star colors do not, that's because of the V4 filter.

This is a pseudo narrowband filter that lets only Ha and O3 through.

This is how the stars look red / green.

My conclusion, unlike my M27, is much more difficult with the object here.

Is a nice gimmick, but not a real narrow band.

Positive is the focus stable Newton and there is no color mixing.The shot was reduced to 50% and the upper edge removed. 2760 x 1723 pixels:
