Description

Had a crack at the Wizard Nebula again, unfortunately I could not spend more imaging time on this object as the weather did not cooperate. At 1hr and 50min I managed to get a half decent looking image. I may merge this one with the 4.5hr image I got a few months ago but either way I'm happy with this short exposure. Thoughts, comments suggestions are always welcomed. Cheers and enjoy.

Description: This is a combined image from my previous images of the Wizard Nebula. 74 x 300s frames at Gain 11.0 for a total exposure of 6hrs and 10min. There's a notable improvement in the nebula, however there is also a whitish film across the image, most likely due to the calibration frames.

Description: Fine tuned this image and removed some light frames and adjusted the correct calibration frames. 64 x 300s frames Gain 11.0 for a total of 5hrs and 20min exposure. I think I cleaned the image up some and it turned out quite well.
